Patient's question:
Obesity weighing 150 pounds, 161 cm tall, not treated for 2 to 3 years, should lose weight, what should be paid attention to in daily life?Doctor's answer:
Childhood obesity refers to the accumulation of excessive fat in children's bodies, where weight exceeds the average standard weight calculated based on height by 20% or more, or exceeds the average standard weight calculated based on age plus two standard deviations. Some obese children will develop into adult obesity. Childhood obesity has been proven to be a risk factor for the later occurrence of diabetes, atherosclerosis, hypertension, and coronary heart disease. Another factor that deserves our sufficient attention is that obesity can cause psychological disorders in children, leading to some conditions such as the medically termed "social withdrawal syndrome," which is detrimental to the growth of obese children. The emergency response and immune defense capabilities of obese children are lower than those of normal children. They are also more prone to developing a,, and unsociable personality. Dietary control should be strengthened.
