    Youth with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) have significantly higher odds of obesity and poor cardiometabolic health compared to matched controls.

  • 2

    In a study of 1647 youth with CAH, the odds of overweight/obesity were 3.63 times higher than in matched controls.

  • 3

    Classic CAH patients exhibited even greater risks, with hypertension odds at 8.22 times higher than controls.

  • 4

    The study utilized a large multisite database (PEDSnet) to analyze cardiometabolic outcomes from 2009 to 2019.

  • 5

    Findings indicate that early-onset cardiometabolic comorbidities are prevalent in youth with CAH, necessitating further research.
