The medical impact of obesity during childhood are similar to those seen in obese adults. This means that children who are obese are at an increased risk for: 1  High cholesterol. 2  High blood pressure (hypertension) 3  Type 2 diabetes. 4  Metabolic syndrome.  Sleep apnea.
Childhood Obesity is on the Rise. The number of overweight children in the United States has increased dramatically in recent years. Approximately 10 percent of 4 and 5 year old children are overweight, double that of 20 years ago. Overweight is more prevalent in girls than boys and in older preschoolers (ages 4-5) than younger (ages 2-3). Obesity increases even more as children get older. For ages 6 to 11, at least one child in five is overweight. Over the last two decades, this number has increased by more than 50 percent and the number of obese children has nearly doubled. For most children, overweight is the result of unhealthy eating patterns (too many calories) and too little physical activity. Since these habits are established in early childhood, efforts to prevent obesity should begin early.
