The Obesity Database records the characteristics and medical complications of children with obesity who present to treatment at Perth Children's Hospital (Princess Margaret Hospital), in an on-site database. The database records demographic and anthropometric data about participants in the study, as well as features of complications of obesity. Complications of obesity include an abnormal lipid profile, hypertension, glucose intolerance, fatty liver, musculoskeletal issues and obstructive sleep apnoea, among others. Analysis of this data quantifies the complications of obesity in children who are overweight and obese, and will be used to develop guidelines for investigation and treatment.
