Roughly 4.5 million children — about 6% — are considered severely obese.
have revised a tool to track the rising cases of severe obesity among children who were previously off the charts.
The CDC charts are the most widely used tool in the U.S. to track growth and development in kids. Parents are used to discussing the progress of their children’s growth from the time they are babies, noted the CDC's Dr. Alyson Goodman. The new charts will be "extremely helpful" in guiding better conversations between parents and health care providers, she said.The old charts had been used since 2000. They were based on data from U.S.
The old charts didn't include children like Bryan Alcala of Aurora, Illinois, who first sought help in 2019 as a high school freshman who was 5 feet, 5 inches and weighed about 300 pounds. "It’s like driving a car at night with no headlights and no dashboard," Inge said. "You don’t know where they are with regard to their peers.""Everything is going good now," he said.However, one expert who questions the use of BMI to assess adults, said doctors need to be careful using the new charts with kids. They should focus on behaviors that drive weight gain, taking care not to stigmatize kids and families, said Dr.
