OBESITY

 Obesity is a serious medical condition that affects children and adolescents. It occurs when a child is well above the normal weight for his or her age and height.
 Obesity is particularly troubling because the extra pounds often start children on the path to health problems that were once confined to adults, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Obesity can also lead to poor self-esteem and depression.

One of the best strategies to reduce obesity is to improve the diet and exercise habits of your entire family. Treating and preventing obesity helps protect the health of your child now and in the future.

Lifestyle issues — too little activity and too many calories from food and drinks — are the main contributors to obesity. But genetic and hormonal factors may play a role as well. For example, recent research has found that changes in digestive hormones can affect the signals that let you know you're full.
Though not common, there are also genetic diseases and hormonal disorders that can make a child prone to obesity.
