Health Risks, Diagnosis and Treatment
Determining if a child or adolescent has a weight problem can be challenging. How do you know if the excess weight your child has is part of the natural growth process, and will your child just "grow out of?" How do you know if your child’s weight may be negatively affecting his or her health?
Health Risks
Along with the rise in childhood obesity, there has been an increase in the incidence and prevalence of medical conditions in children and adolescents that had been rare in the past. Pediatricians and childhood obesity researchers are reporting more frequent cases of obesity-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes, asthma and hypertension that once were considered adult conditions.
Read more about obesity-related health risks for children and adolescents in the AOA Fact Sheet, Obesity in Youth.
Read about the relationship of obesity and type 2 diabetes in children at the CDC’s Children and Diabetes web page.
