Fat storage - It is normal to store fat during growth, particularly during infancy and adolescence. It is therefore difficult to measure obesity in children.
- The NHS data (2005) shows the number of obese children has tripled over the last 20 years. At least 10% of six-year-olds and 17% of 15-year-olds are now obese.
- Childhood obesity is a strong indication that the child will be obese as an adult and is likely to lead to health risks in later life.
