child obesity

Child obesity is a condition where a child has excess body fat, typically measured using the Body Mass Index (BMI). It can result from a combination of factors including poor diet, lack of physical activity, genetics, and environmental influences. Obese children are at a higher risk for health issues like diabetes, heart disease, and low self-esteem. Preventing and addressing obesity involves promoting healthy eating habits, encouraging regular exercise, and creating supportive environments for children and families to thrive. Awareness and early intervention are crucial to mitigate long-term health effects.
