Associations of child-to-adult body size change with risk of hypertension and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: a population-based cohort study of 226,420 individuals
Childhood leanness exacerbates the risk of hypertension and MASLD in adulthood. Within the follow-up period, normal adult body size would mitigate the detrimental effects of childhood obesity. Thus, attention should be given to reinforcing weight management in children by implementing evidence-based strategies.
