More effort should be invested in preventing obesity than is currently practiced, because prevention is much more successful than treatment, in either children or adults. Most obese children or adults. Most obese children have exogenous obesity, which is caused by increased caloric intake, reduced energy output, or overly efficient calorie utilization.

Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 1964
Obesity is now the most frequent nutritional disorder of childhood in the so‐called developed countries of the world. It is due to an increase in the amount of adipose tissue but, because it is technically difficult to measure the exact amount of adipose tissue, obesity is usually defined in terms of body weight. In general an individual who weighs 20%

Pediatrics In Review, 1989
It is estimated that as many as 25% of children and 30% of adults in the United States are obese. Clinicians need little reminding of the intractable nature of this disorder and the need for more effective and long-lasting therapies, Obesity in childhood may lay the foundation of the degenerative cardiovascular diseases that may or may not be grossly ...

Childhood obesity has assumed epidemic proportions and it is currently one of the most prevalent public health problems. The pathophysiology of excess weight gain is complex with interactions between genetic factors, environment and biological factors. In this review, we highlight the epidemiology of childhood obesity and discuss clinical evaluation of

Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 2021
Childhood obesity is a pathologic process with multifactorial causes. The reasons range widely. Obesity leads to chronic health conditions, increasing morbidity. The management of obesity must include the patient, family, school, community, and even government for policy changes. Lifestyle changes are the mainstay of treatment, including a healthy diet

Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics of North America, 2002
The prevalence of childhood obesity is rising, and pediatric obesity has become an important public health issue. It can be defined as BMI more than 95th percentile for age and sex, whereas overweight is defined as BMI more than 85th percentile. Using these cut points, more than one quarter of all children and adolescents are either overweight or obese.

Abstract Obesity is the most important nutritional disease in the developed countries of the world. Since there is no internationally agreed criterion for diagnosis, either for adults or children, an exact figure for prevalence cannot be quoted but surveys suggest that, in highly developed countries, about one third of the population is ...

The prevalence of childhood obesity continues to increase worldwide. Its presence is associated with significant adverse effects on health including an increased propensity to type II diabetes, cardiovascular, respiratory, and liver disease. In the vast majority of children, obesity is lifestyle-related, yet there is a dearth of evidence on how to best

To provide an overview of the current advances in childhood obesity physiology, intervention, and prevention.Structural and functional brain impairments are present in obese adolescents with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Aerobic training for 20 or 40 min per day produced similar affects on metabolic risk factors.
