When compared with children only 20 years ago, at any given weight or BMI, modern children are much fatter, have less collections muscle, and have a more central distribution of body fat - an "apple" as opposed to a "pear" shape, which reflects greater deposition collections of body fat within the abdomen, around the major organs. In our studies of Edinburgh schoolchildren, for example, body fat content was dramatically higher than expected, and children gained much more fat year-on-year collections as they developed than children in the past. The change in fat distribution is a particular concern because it is more likely to lead to the later consequences of obesity - both the cardiovascular consequences (such as heart disease) and the metabolic consequences (such as diabetes). |

| Obesity here is defined conservatively, using a method which moderately under-diagnoses. Obesity is clearly not a problem confined to adulthood. national library of medicine The SIRC report confuses changes national library of medicine in average national library of medicine weight with obesity - these are not the same concepts. The changes in weight, BMI [body mass index] and body fatness which have taken place have affected a segment of the population disproportionately - focusing only on changes in weight of the average child obscures what went on in this segment. The report uses the "international" definitions of obesity, but there is a substantial body of research which shows that these definitions grossly underdiagnose and therefore underestimate obesity. Most children who are excessively fat would not be diagnosed as obese using these definitions. The SIRC report is too dependent on body weight as a source of evidence, largely because in our national health surveys, weight is what is measured. |
