age children. The nurse should include which associated risk of obesity in the teaching plan?

xc xc xc xc xc
Childhood obesity has been associated with the rise of type II diabetes in children. Type I diabetes is not
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
associated with obesity and has a genetic component. Respiratory disease is not associated with obesity,
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc x
and celiac disease is the inability to metabolize gluten in foods and is not associated with obesity.
