Patient's question:
Currently 7 years and 8 months old, weighing 45KG, height 131CM, classified as severe obesity. Has undergone liver and spleen ultrasound examination, diagnosed with fatty liver, but the spleen is normal. Bone age examination is classified as that of an 8-year-old child.Doctor's answer:
Obesity has a certain relationship with genetics. If both parents are obese, 80% of their offspring will also be obese. On the other hand, only 14% of the offspring of parents with normal body weight will develop obesity, which is related to polygenic inheritance. Additionally, in families where both parents are obese, the dietary structure tends to be high in fat and sugar. Children raised in such an environment from a young age, accustomed to eating rich foods, will also experience continuous weight gain.
