Evaluating Pediatric Obesity
Update: 2022-02-22
Description
Currently 1 out of every 5 children (18.5%) meets the body mass index criteria for obesity (BMI ? 95th percentile). With this in mind, it’s important for providers to consider many factors when diagnosing and assessing a child for obesity. Kelsee Halpin, MD, MPH, pediatric endocrinologist at Children’s Mercy Kansas City, discusses more on this topic and what to look for in the primary care setting.
