Abstract
Dysglycaemia and dyslipidaemia are common among pre-pubertal obese children. Insulin sensitivity indices based on OGTT are superior to fasting indices in identifying at risk children. OGTT should be included in assessing obese children with BMIÂ >Â 2 SDS. DXA scanning has limited value for this purpose in clinical settings.
