Preferred term

prevalence of childhood obesity worldwide  

Definition

  • Childhood obesity is a particular public health concern because excess weight in childhood is likely to lead to excess weight in adulthood and raise the risk of obesity-related chronic disease from an earlier age. Overweight children themselves may show the early signs of chronic disease and also suffer psychosocial problems due to their obesity.
