Well, those childen must live somewhere other than here! I am around a lot of children every week, at school and Church. I simply don't see this percentage of overweight children!..Adult, that is another matter!
Still, childhood overweight remains an epidemic in North Carolina affecting:
- More than one in four (27.2%) youth 12 to 18 years of age,
- More than one in five (23.8%) children 5 to 11 years,
- and One in eight (14.9%) preschool children 2 to 4 years of age.
