One of the most common questions of parents is "What should be the right weight for my kid?”. It’s not too easy to be answer. Because of different body types, no single number is the exact weight for everyone. Because every one has different body structure like muscular, bony etc. so there is a range of weight according to the age, gender, height and territory. Weight more than the upper limit is considered as overweight.
Nowadays obesity is a very common problem. Being overweight is the result of a caloric imbalance. It means you take in more calories than you burn. The higher the caloric imbalance, the more you will ultimately weigh. It is not only because of over eating but also of any physical ailment like hormonal disorder, depression etc. clinical features are varied according to the cause of the obesity. Heredity also plays a role to be an obese.
Symptoms include laziness, irritability, loneliness, excessive sleeping, over eating, depressed mood, mood swing and sometime mental retardation, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Detection for Childhood Obesity is done with the help of Body Mass Index, or BMI measurement
