'Vascular function, body composition, cardiovascular risk and cardiovascular responses to exercise in nine and 10 year old children'

Vascular dysfunction has been identified in children with obesity, insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance and an adverse body fat distribution. However, the clinical techniques used to assess the health of the vasculature may not be suitable for large scale screening of young populations. Ex...
