Figure 1: Impact of childhood obesity on immune function.

Figure 1:

In order to measure the impact of childhood obesity on immune function it is necessary to start by quantifying levels of cytokines and adipokines as well as key immune cell subsets. To measure impacts on function we examine the effects of obesity on response to vaccination, acute infection, malignancy and oncologic therapy as well as weight loss. “©2020, The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, All Rights Reserved”
