Patient's question:
How to deal with child obesity? A 11-year-old weighing 49 kilograms with a "potbelly"? What should be paid attention to in daily life?Doctor's answer:
The child's weight is relatively high. The standard weight for an 11-year-old child is approximately 60 kilograms, which may indicate childhood obesity. Body Mass Index for children: KG/M2 > 30 can be diagnosed as obesity.Advice: I don’t know how tall your child is. If obesity is to be treated, weight control should be implemented to promote growth and development, and a comprehensive physiological-psychological regulation therapy should be conducted to maintain moderate fat gain.
