Treating Overweight Children and Adolescents in the Clinic

Karen L. Young, MD

Department of Pediatrics, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, College of Medicine, Little Rock, AR

The increasing prevalence of pediatric overweight has caused the medical community to begin searching for ways to deal with this new pediatric medical problem. The Centers for Disease Control developed the Body Mass Index (BMI) growth charts, which came into use in 2000. Primary care providers are seeking education on this relatively new topic. This article provides fundamental information based on the medical evidence for pediatricians to learn how to care for their overweight pediatric patients in the office setting.
