Childhood obesity is a serious health problem in the United States. Current national data indicate approximately one-third of U.S. children and adolescents are obese or overweight, and more are at risk of becoming obese and of premature onset of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and some types of cancer. A number of leading health organizations and expert panels, including the World Health Organization and the U.S. Institute of Medicine, have recommended comprehensive interventions to fight the growing global childhood obesity epidemic.
