Indian Children Face High Triglycerides and Hypertension

A report on Indian children found that many kids have high levels of triglycerides, a type of fat that can lead to heart problems later.

This is common in children aged 5-9, especially in states like West Bengal.

Also, over 16% of teens have high triglycerides.

The report also shows that about 5% of teenagers have high blood pressure.

These findings highlight important health issues for young people in India.
