Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our honor and pleasure to present you with this Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine. Obesity in general, and childhood obesity in particular, has been defined as the great pandemic at the beginning of this century. The other great pandemic, COVID-19, has not only endorsed the need to act globally in the face of a health challenge but has also led to an increase in cases of obesity and metabolic syndrome after the obligatory period of quarantine at home. In particular, childhood obesity is as prevalent as 30–50% in some southern European, American, and even developing country populations. These children suffering from obesity will be sick as adults. However, we are also starting to experience typical adult diseases in pediatrics, such as type 2 DM.
The emergence of new diagnostic challenges, new screening tests and studies, the significance of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and, of course, the tide of new GLP-1-type drugs that are appearing will not only change the paradigm of diagnosis and monitoring of these patients but will also bring hope for the future.
We look forward to receiving your submissions to this Special Issue.
