Abstract
<p class="first" id="d7272749e55">Obesity has become a global epidemic but our understanding
of the problem in children
is limited due to lack of comparable representative data from different countries,
and varying criteria for defining obesity. This paper summarises the available information
on recent trends in child overweight and obesity prevalence.
