Abstract
Objective: To assess the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in severely obese children and adolescents.

Severe obesity is defined by gender and age-dependent cut-off points for body mass index based on Dutch National Growth Studies corresponding to the adult cut-off point of 35 kg/m
