Abstract

La prévalence croissante du surpoids pédiatrique aux Etats-Unis est une source d'accroissement du diabète, de maladies cardio-vasculaires et de nombreux autres problèmes de santé. De plus, les disparités de surpoids pédiatriques selon l'ethnie ou le niveau socio-économique ont probablement exacerbé les inégalités actuelles concernant les taux de maladies chroniques. Il est urgent de développer des stratégies et des programmes destinés à prévenir le surpoids chez les enfants. Copyright Birkhäuser-Verlag 2003
