1 Defi nition of obese children
Obese children are defined as children under the age of 10 whose body mass index
(BMI) exceeds the 95th percentile or two standard deviations above that of their
peers of the same age and sex, and are usually characterized by a body fat
percentage that is significantly higher than normal.
2 The current situation of obese children
In recent years, the rate of childhood obesity has been rising globally, and China is no
exception. According to data from the National Health Commission, the overweight
and obesity rate among children in my country is projected to reach 31.8% by 2030,
making obesity a significant public health problem threatening children's health.
3 The eff ects of obesity
Obesity not only affects children's physical health, such as increasing the risk of
cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and skeletal developmental abnormalities, but also
has a negative impact on their mental health, such as low self-esteem, depression,
and social diffi culties.
