🔹 High blood pressure in children can lead to long-term cardiovascular complications if left untreated.
🔹 Diabetes mellitus, though a risk factor for obesity, is not as directly related to high blood pressure as obesity.

🔹 Hypertension in children with obesity can lead to early signs of cardiovascular disease, affecting overall health.
