Review the current research status of childhood obesity induced hypertension, including the relationship between childhood obesity and hypertension, criteria for assessing childhood hypertension, domestic and international status, and relevant intervention measures for childhood obesity induced hypertension. On this basis, we will understand whether corresponding intervention measures will have a certain improvement effect on childhood obesity induced hypertension, in order to further reduce the incidence of childhood obesity induced hypertension, improve the control effect of childhood obesity induced hypertension, and promote children's physical health.
