Overweight and adiposity are regarded as metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors. In a randomized school based prevention project, 672 children (aged 10-14) were included. By means of pulse wave analysis, it was tested whether hyperuricemia leads to changes in vascular function and whether effects of intervention after 6 months can be demonstrated. It is shown that, already at this age, hyperuricemia negatively effects vascular function and metabolism. Short-term effects of intervention could not be demonstrated.
