1. CHILD OBESITY: BEFORE SCREENING TO 6 YEARS
Obesity in children is a serious disease that moves very slowly, so much so that at first she
did not see. Awareness is often too late, it is essential to follow the BMI curve of the child,
including seeking an early adiposity rebound before 6 years.
One in six children are affected by obesity
One in six children are affected by obesity, twice more than a decade ago. Beyond the
psychological problems it entails, child obesity can reduce average life expectancy of 13
years. The risk of induced pathologies has increased considerably: two thirds of children
suffering from obesity will remain in adulthood with risk of cardiovascular complications
tripled, diabetes increased ninefold, orthopedic problems, but also a psychosocial impact

to optimize the regular monitoring of the BMI curve, from early childhood. It is important to
remember that some obesity is established very early, between 2 and 6 years. The plot of

premature corpulence rebound, that is to say, before the age of 6, against 6-7 years
normally.
Childhood obesity: an environmental disease in genetically predisposed land
The environment is one of the factors explaining the growth of obesity: physical inactivity,

risk of becoming obese quadrupled among children whose one parent is obese and eight
when both parents are obese. Faced with such predispositions, it is essential to be vigilant in
