Overweight and Obesity-Related Calorie Imbalance in Children?s

Pushkar K

An excess of body fat has a negative impact on a child's health or well-being in childhood obesity. Since it is difficult to directly measure body fat, BMI is frequently used to diagnose obesity. Obesity in children is becoming increasingly recognized as a serious public health issue due to its numerous negative health effects and rising prevalence. When discussing childhood obesity, the less stigmatizing term "overweight" is frequently used rather than "obese." However, "overweight" can also refer to a different BMI category. It is known that sex and gender have an impact on the prevalence of childhood obesity.
