How to Diagnose Obesity

How can you tell if Your Child is Obese?

In the past, obesity was regarded as an “adult” problem, and children were often regarded as safe from the ill effects of being a little “plump”. The general rule most parents seemed to follow was that their children would outgrow any weight problems, and eventually their bodies would become more “normal” once adolescence was reached. However, obesity in children today is a fully acknowledged problem, and a growing health hazard that threatens to make the next generation’s weight problems make our own seem mild by comparison. To help protect your child from this, you have to be able to diagnose the problem early. Standards of obesity differ from adults to children, so know what to watch out for.

What is Obesity?

Obesity isn’t just being overweight. A person can have more body mass than is recommended for his or her height and bone structure yet still be healthy, IF the excess mass is more muscle tissue and healthy internal organs than anything else. Obesity, rather, is when a person’s percentage of body fat is much higher than it should be.
