Patient's question:
Childhood obesity? The child has never been fat, but started gaining weight since the winter vacation in late 2011. At that time, my son drank a lot of milk every day at home. What caused the obesity? The child is now 112 cm tall and weighs 24 kg.Doctor's answer:
The causes of obesity in children and adults are mainly divided into pathological and physiological. Pathological obesity is primarily associated with certain systemic diseases or the use of certain medications such as hormones. Suggestions: ... Physiological obesity is mainly related to overeating, little physical activity, and low energy expenditure in the body. Your child's condition is related to excessive milk consumption. I recommend taking your child to the hospital for a physical examination to rule out pathological causes. If you are obese, you can consider exercising more and appropriately controlling your diet.
