Obesity Treatment

Dietary Treatment of Obesity

overweight children

Obesity in 2006, 12.4% of the population, or 6 million people. Overweight meanwhile, 29.2% for people, or 14 million people. You should know that being overweight affects more men than women.

Normally this curve increases the first year of birth, then begins to decrease until the age of 6, because the child will usually grow faster than it is fatter. The rise of the curve of body mass index, occurs around age 6, he called the “adiposity rebound”.
