Childhood obesity is already epidemic in some areas and on the rise in
others.
An estimated 17.6 million children under five are estimated to be overweight
worldwide.
According to the U.S. Surgeon General, in the USA the number of overweight
children has doubled and the number of overweight adolescents has trebled
since 1980.
The prevalence of obese children aged 6-11 years has more than doubled since
the 1960s.
Obesity prevalence in youths aged 12-17 has increased dramatically from 5%
to 13% in boys and from 5% to 9% in girls between 1966-70 and 1988-91 in the
USA.
The problem is global and increasingly extend into the developing world; for
example, in Thailand the prevalence of obesity in 5-to-12-year-old children
rose from 12.2% to 15.6% in just two years.
