What About Childhood Obesity?
Obese children and adolescents are more likely to remain obese through adulthood.
The prevalence of childhood obesity more than doubled from 1980 to 2008. An estimated 17% of children and adolescents ages 2-19 years are obese. These results are from the 2007-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).
