Analyzing the issue of overweight and children health

Abstract

Background: Nowadays, overweight and obesity amongst children is regarded as an increasingly concerning health problem in the majority of countries. Patients and methods: Ninety-six cases participated in the present survey, twenty-seven were less than six years, and sixty-nine were 6-18 years. They all had a BMI of more than 95% for their age and gender; they were clinically assessed as overweight children. History, physical testing, and examining the most related laboratory tests were conducted to consent acquisition. Results: It is observed that there is a substantial variation in the average age group of the two groups, hypercholesterolemia and high triglyceride were more recorded between cases older than six years. Iron deficiency anemia and asthma were reported as more substantially connected to the younger group (<6 years). Liver enzyme abnormalities, gall stones, musculoskeletal pain did not demonstrate any statistical distinction between the two groups.
