Presented By Chimera Dan Innocent Childhood Obesity A Problem That Deserves Recognition

Do you know that? According to a 2010 World Health Organization(W.H.O.) estimate, 81% of the 43million children that were obese reside in developing countries In 2012, 40million children younger than 5 years were overweight globally. It is estimated that by 2020, the global prevalence of paediatric obesity would reach 60million.

What is Childhood Obesity? Firstly, obesity is referred to as a high body weight in relation to height to a degree where it impairs physical and psychological health. This is determined via calculation of the Body Mass Index(BMI) = Your weight (in kilograms) over your height squared (in Metres). The result is in kilograms by meters squared, or KG/M2. Childhood Obesity kicks in when a child’s weight in relation to height is excessively beyond the 95th percentile

BMI Range for Children This measures the height and weight, assessing a child's physical growth in relation to other kids of the same age and gender. Under weight Normal weight Over weight Obese <5th percentile 5th – 85th percentile 85th – 94th percentile >95th percentile
