Childhood Obesity Fixed by the Age of Five

Childhood Obesity Fixed by the Age of Five
from medicalnewstoday.com

Comment from the contributor:

From Medical News Today --UK researchers studying childhood diabetes have announced that childhood obesity is fixed by the age of five, suggesting that the government should address more initiatives at children's home environment, not just in school. Compared to the children of the 1980's, children today are much more likely to be overweight, and most of the excess weight is put on before they start school.

“ "When they reach the age of five the die seems to be cast, at least until the age of puberty. What is causing it is very difficult to know." ”
