Patient's question:
Hello, my baby is 8 months old and weighs 32 pounds. I want to check for obesity. What tests need to be done and what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, the child's weight is indeed severely overweight. Generally, a child of this age should weigh around 9 kilograms to be considered normal.Suggestion: If the child's height development is normal, it is likely due to obesity, possibly caused by anemia or a lack of trace elements in the body. If the height development is relatively rapid, it may be a growth hormone issue.
It is recommended that you take the child to the local hospital's pediatric department for a check-up in a timely manner.
