Obese kids have blood vessel damage and insulin resistance which are precursors to atherosclerosis and diabetes, according to a research.

Professor Grethe Tell (Norway), ESC prevention spokesperson, said that in one in 10 school-aged kids are overweight.

Tell said that bad habits have an impact on young hearts and the effects carry on until adulthood and regular exercise and a healthy diet need to be part of daily life from childhood and it's essential that kids do not take up smoking.
