Shocking Statistics on Childhood Obesity Nationwide

This research article shows some alarming statistics related to incresed number of obese children and adolescents. It has tables and graphs that help to see the growing epidemic among younger generation. In my opinion this should be a target population to intervene with new methods to fight obesity. While the child is still growing and developing we have higher chances of preventing or reversing obesity. It's a lot harder to eliminate effects of obesity later in life due to further comlications onmetabolism, heart, and body image.
