Child obesity
Rates of obesity are climbing. The percentage of children who are overweight has doubled in the last 20 years. The percentage of adolescents who are obese has tripled in the last 20 years.
Consuming more calories than you burn leads to being overweight and, eventually, obesity. The body stores unused calories as fat. Work with your health care provider to determine how many calories you need to consume each day to stay healthy.
Obesity increases a person's risk of illness and death due to diabetes, stroke, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and kidney and gallbladder disease. Obesity may increase the risk for some types of cancer. It is also a risk factor for the development of osteoarthritis and sleep apnea.
Genetic factors play some part in the development of obesity -- children of obese parents are 10 times more likely to be obese than children with parents of normal weight.

Common Causes
• Consumption of more food than the body can use
• Excess alcohol intake
• Sedentary lifestyle
Obesity results when a person consumes more calories than energy. Several different factors may influence weight gain.
About 90% of people who lose weight through dieting gain every pound back regardless of their weight-loss method.
Some evidence suggests that every person has an inherited weight range that varies by only about 10% either up or down from some set point. For instance, a man whose "genetically-determined" weight is 200 pounds would tend to swing from 180 to 220 pounds. He would be unlikely to lose or gain more than this.
Genetic factors that influence fat metabolism and regulate the hormones and proteins that control appetite may play some part in 70 - 80% of obesity cases.
