Pediatric obesity

Obesity, known as "children's adult disease", has a significant increase in the incidence in China, especially in large cities, such as some cities in the north, which has exceeded 20%, which seriously affects the healthy growth of children. Obesity in children will delay the start of walking, and often due to calcium deficiency, overweight, knee varus or valgus, flat feet and so on. And because of obesity, children's body's response to and resistance to the outside world declines, prone to various infections, especially respiratory infections. Long-term obese children may also develop hyperlipidemia, which in turn leads to a variety of adult diseases such as arteriosclerosis, hypertension, coronary heart disease, fatty liver, and diabetes.
