What should be done in the cases of clinically obese children?
There has been a sharp increase in the number of clinically obese children. If the present trends continue, there will be fears of obesity related diseases occurring at younger ages. You can calculate your child’s BMI using the same method. Divide your child’s weight in kilograms by their height in metres squared. Take note that the adult BMI chart should not be used to determine if a child is overweight or not. There are specific age-adjusted charts available.
