Childhood obesity affects nearly 20% of American children.
by Katherine Murphy / ATLlocal.org
Nearly 20% of children and teenagers in the United States are affected by obesity, with around 14.7 million youths impacted, according to federal data. The rate of obesity is even higher among Black and Hispanic youth, affecting 1 in 4 individuals. It is crucial for parents to start conversations about the importance of good nutrition and exercise with their children as young as 3 or 4 years old. This early education can help promote healthy habits and prevent health issues such as Type 2 Diabetes.
