TAILIEUCHUNG - CLINICAL APPLICATIONS OF PHARMACOGENETICS

Obesity (defined as body mass Index [BMI] 95th percentile, or BMI score z ) is a well defined and very complex disease of which overweight is merely one of the signs. Increasing obesity prevalence in youth over the last three decades has led to growing evidence of its implications for human health. Based on longitudinal studies, overweight has been shown to be an important risk factor for the development of atherosclerotic CVD, carbohydrate metabolism disorders, obstructive sleep apnea, cancers, intellectual deterioration, among others, therefore presenting elevated cumulative morbid-mortality. . | CLINICAL APPLICATIONS OF PHARMACOGENETICS Edited by Despina Sanoudou Clinical Applications of Pharmacogenetics Edited by Despina Sanoudou Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2012 InTech All chapters are Open Access distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution license which allows users to download copy and build upon published articles even for commercial purposes as long as the author and publisher are properly credited which ensures maximum dissemination and a wider impact of our publications.
