What is the reason for obesity at the age of 8, height of 130 cm, and weight of 42 kg?

Patient's question:

Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has been affected. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and adjust my body. Could you please explain why I am 130 cm tall and weigh 42 kg at the age of 8?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, your daughter is slightly overweight, which is likely due to the excessive consumption of greasy foods by both you and your child. Additionally, it is essential to ensure that your child engages in appropriate physical activities in the near future. Avoid letting your child frequently eat greasy foods and encourage them to increase their exercise. It is recommended that your child engage in activities for more than one hour daily. This not only helps strengthen their body but also effectively promotes their physical growth and development.
