Question:
The doctor has told me that our seven-year-old son is verging on obese. He does love his food but I thought he would grow out of it. What do you suggest I do so that he gets thinner and stays that way?
Answer:
Obesity is an extreme case of being overweight. Both are calculated by the body mass index (BMI). To find out your BMI, divide your weight in kilograms by the square of your height in meters. So if your weight is 57kg and your height is 1.6m, divide 57 by 7.56 (1.6m2), which equals 22.2. A BMI between 20 and 25 is considered normal for most people; between 25 and 27 is considered overweight Obesity is over 27 for adults; Over 25 for children.
