>Despite reports that rates of childhood obesity are decreasing, kids seem to be packing on pounds at younger ages. >"We were hoping we would see a decrease in the incidence of obesity," said study author Solveig Argeseanu Cunningham, an associate professor of global health and epidemiology at Emory University in Atlanta. "We were negatively surprised to find that this newer [group] of kids was experiencing obesity even younger and reaching higher levels of obesity than they were 12 years ago." >For the study, the researchers compared rates of obesity in kids from kindergarten through fifth grade during two time frames: 1998 to 2004, and 2010 to 2016. >The rate of childhood obesity increased during the 2000s, occurred at younger ages, and hit more severe levels than in the 1990s, the study showed. >Almost 29% more Black children were obese by fifth grade between 2010 and 2016, while obesity rates remained unchanged or decreased among other race and ethnic groups, the study showed. >"A lot of risks for obesity are set early in life before kids even get to kindergarten," Cunningham said. "This is the time to set up healthy relationships with food and mindful eating." >While the researchers suggest that interventions in kindergarten through fifth grade may have a larger impact in some ethnic and racial groups, it may be too late for other groups. >"Race and ethnic patterns in obesity prevalence from birth throughout childhood reveal that by the time children enroll in kindergarten, an important period for starting interventions in Hispanic children has already passed," wrote Cynthia Ogden, of the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics, and colleagues.
>Just eat less, retards. I have recently been reading more and more about the importance of exercise and physical activity, and have been quite interested in some of the points being made. It has been said that we need to exercise at least 30 minutes every day, preferably more. That would be a fair amount of time, if you are doing it correctly.
There are also some misconceptions being made about how much exercise is needed, and I find this interesting, because it is one of the areas that we find ourselves in conflict.

Unironically take your medication

Get a bachelors in kinesiology, the state will pay for the rest.
The study followed the kids through to the end of fifth grade.

But obesity makes kids fertile at a younger age. What's the problem?

It not always "just eat less bro" things like genetics and age can play an issue. For these kids though its probably just stop eating mcdonalds.

Obese slob at my work talking about having his stomach removed to lose weight. Just say why can’t you just eat less? Tells me it doesn’t work that way. Oh well I tried
I've lost around 80lbs eating less, however that's not working anymore. I eat around 1500 calories with cardio which should be enough for someone 180 and still manage to stay even. There is so many factors like not eatting too little because your body goes into starvation mode, and not eating to much, and if fasting and shit works for you.

trying not to generalize but as a old fuck i see new parents really shit the bed when it comes to parenting. too much TV/internet and all of our food is corn syrup and instant foods.i see kids drinking full Snapple bottles. the 32 fl oz(255ml) bottles contains 2.5 servings per bottle. total sugars 79g total calories 330. ON TOP of that they eat other garbage like chips and ice cream WITH THE SNAPPLE. we are all fucked with 90% of population will be obese in this country.
government needs to ban high fructose corn syrup and limit sugars in our food(especially for children).
