Childhood Obesity: A Silent Epidemic

One in three children are affected by childhood obesity today, making it the most common chronic disease of childhood. According to the CDC, obese adolescents are more likely to have prediabetes, a condition in which blood glucose levels indicate a high risk for development of diabetes.

They are more at risk to develop adult health problems such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, several types of cancer, and osteoarthritis.

Children who are overweight are unable to participate actively with their peers, leaving them isolated, feeling alone and helpless.

Often they become the target of bullying. This can occur in many forms, including verbally at school, isolation during PE class, social exclusion, as well as online and more.

This bias can extend even to professionals. In a recent study, it was reported that teachers perceive overweight students to be untidy, overly emotional, less likely to succeed at work, and more likely to have family problems compared with their normal-weight peers.

In some cases, it has been noted that doctors examining overweight patients spend less time with them, engage in less discussion, are reluctant to perform preventive health screenings, and do fewer interventions.

All of this combined can readily result in low self-esteem and lack of confidence, creating a vicious cycle of resorting to food for comfort.

A destructive pattern of behavior that is carried, along with their weight, into their adult lives.

These children get a negative head start in life with emotional problems and physical illnesses directly related to their weight

Where can a parent turn for help?

With more than 20 years of experience as a pediatrician and a mother of twins, Dr. Green is uniquely qualified to help and is passionate about childhood obesity.

She understands the problems facing overweight children and parents. Our pediatric weight management program is individualized to the specific age and capabilities of your child.

Programs for 6 year-olds are different from those developed for children 8 or 12 years of age, and adolescents. Success is assured dependent upon the amount of responsibility of the child (age appropriate) and that of the parents.
