Modern Views Of Obesity –Comorbidity

Obesity has become an epidemic among children and adolescents around the world. To date, of
particular interest is the study of the mechanisms of development of metabolic syndrome, especially
associated with impaired iron metabolism. The simultaneous occurrence of diseases of two different
directions, namely obesity and anemia, cannot be considered a coincidence. Numerous studies have
shown that increased serum ferritin levels are associated with the development of metabolic
syndrome. This article provides an overview of current studies of neuropsychological and autonomic
changes in adolescents as a result of metabolic syndrome affecting the central nervous system, as
well as electroencephalographic and ultrasound Doppler changes, the relationship between
metabolic syndrome and serum ferritin levels. The psychoemotional and mnestic-intellectual
changes that develop as a result of metabolic syndrome in adolescents are widely covered.
