Adolescent Obesity

Childhood Obesity is a condition where abundant muscle fat deposits adversely influence the child's wellbeing.  . As strategies to assess body fat are troublesome, the analysis of obesity is frequently viewed in BMI (Body Mass Index). Higher rates of weight are accounted in Native American, African Americans, and Latino childrens. The effects are due to less physical activity and poor life style. The health problems may include symptoms like hypertension and dyslipidemias, femoral epiphysis, sleep disorders, Type II diabetes, gall bladder disease, and mental health problems. The rate of child obesity has expanded significantly in the previous couple of years, 54% of children around the age of 6  to 11 years and 39% for children in the range of 12 and 17 years.
