Patient's question:
My daughter is 5 years old, 110 cm tall, and weighs over 70 jin. She loves meat, chicken legs, and eats very quickly. She also enjoys snacks. Is her weight considered child obesity?Doctor's answer:
Problem Analysis: Hello, the best time to treat during the initial stage of puberty is when children enter puberty. Hormones in the body play a significant role in the synthesis and decomposition of fat. Normal boys entering puberty experience a rapid increase in androgens. According to your description, your child's weight has reached 35 kilograms, which exceeds the average for their age. Based on this situation, obesity can be considered. For this condition, it is recommended to limit the intake of high-calorie foods. Additionally, encouraging the child to participate in more sports can help reduce their weight.
