| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the impacts of pediatric obesity on acute infectious illness among children hospitalized with asthma, acute lower respiratory infection, urinary tract infection, and influenza pneumonia. We observed pediatric obesity had effects on elevated risk of illness severity, increased healthcare costs and duration of hospitalization, and elevated rates of repeated admission.
For this study, we utilized obesity index referred to WHO definition, but it predicted these risk factors well.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
小児の肥満において、乳幼児期から急性疾患に影響を示している。これは、乳幼児期においても、肥満は公衆衛生上の問題となりえ、さらに予防することで、感染症の重症化や再入院率を下げる等の効果が示唆される内容であった。
また、日本は肥満の指標として、ローレル指数、カウプ指数、肥満度などを使用してきたが、WHOの推奨するweight-for-length/heightを用いた場合、重症化の予測としては優れていた。
