The prevalence of childhood obesity in the United
States grows each year. Childhood obesity increases the risk of serious
medical problems including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer,
heart disease, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, polycystic ovary syndrome,
and gall bladder disease. Obese children may also suffer from poor
self-esteem if they are teased or bullied by others because of their
weight.
