What Is Obesity
Posted by Brandon | March 21st, 2010 in Childhood Obesity | No Comments »
It is the excessive accumulation of body fat, especially adipose tissue, and that can be perceived by the body weight gain when it reaches 20% over ideal weight for age, height, and sex of the person concerned . To calculate the ideal weight of a child between 2 and 5 years of age, albeit only approximate, multiply the age in years two and eight. Example: to find out how much you weigh, on average, a child of five years, multiply the age (5) by 2 and add 8. Is, 5×2 +8 = 18kg. I insist that this method is not accurate. This is just an illustration. The truth is to consult and consider what they tell the child’s pediatrician.
