What Is Childhood Obesity?
Posted By Get Healthy Heights who is member of Get Healthy Heights September 25, 2017
Obesity is defined as having too much body fat. Being overweight is having too much body weight for your height. Body mass index, or BMI, is used as a way of measuring if someone is overweight or obese. BMI is the preferred way for measuring children and young adults (ages 2–20) because it keeps in mind that they are still growing.
