Artery Plaque In Obese Kids' Similar To Middle-Aged Adults

Kudos, fatsos. Nutritional child abuse. Plain and simple.
"The neck arteries of obese children and teens look more like those of 45-year-olds, according to research presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2008.
* The plaque buildup in the neck arteries of obese children or those with high cholesterol is similar to levels in middle-aged adults.

* Using ultrasound images, researchers equated the "vascular age" to be 45 years old in these children.

* Obese children who have high triglycerides are the most likely to have prematurely aging arteries; these children should be treated as high risk for cardiovascular disease, researchers concluded."
Hold the abusive parents accountable.
