Obesity in Children
Posted in 2015

One third of children in the U. S. is overweight or obese, and this number is continuing to rise. Children have fewer weight-related health and medical problems than adults. However, overweight children are at high risk of becoming overweight adolescents and adults, placing them at risk of developing chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes later in life. They are also more prone to develop stress, sadness, and low self-esteem.

What Causes Obesity in Children?

Children become overweight and obese for a variety of reasons. The most common causes are genetic factors, lack of physical activity, unhealthy eating patterns, or a combination of these factors. Only in rare cases is being overweight caused by a medical condition such as a hormonal problem. A Physical exam and some blood tests can rule out the possibility of a medical condition as the cause for obesity.
Although weight problems run in families, not all children with a family history of obesity will be overweight. Children whose parents or brothers or sisters are overweight may be at an increased risk of becoming overweight themselves, but this can be linked to shared family behaviors such as eating and activity habits.
My advise
1...  The cause of obesity is Unhealthy food or junk food or oily food or over eating or unhealthy life style
2...  Obesity in children cause many health problems like diabetes, hypertension, heart problems, knee joint pains etc...
3...  I have seen some children who are about 20 years are victim of Diabetes etc...
4..   It is also cause of Infertility in their young age.
5...  So follow healthy food, healthy life style etc..
