Childhood obesity（肥胖） is a medical condition which occurs when the weight of the child is disproportionate（不成比例的） to his age and height．This condition is mostly observed in children below the age of 15．
Putting on extra weight at a very young age can be linked to the modern lifestyle．In this fast life，people have no time to prepare healthy foods or even exercise．High calorie fast food has replaced the healthy diet．Children，today，prefer junk foods like pizzas to fruits and vegetables，which can lead to disproportionate weight gain．
Today children are hardly to be seen on the playground．Educational institutes cut down on physical education classes to offer extra classroom study．Playing computer games and watching television have become a favorite pastime activity for children．All this can contribute to weight gain．
Genes（基因） also play an important role in determining the body type．Research shows there're 80% chances of the child becoming obese if both the parents are obese，and 40% chances if either of the parents is obese．
Obesity affects children psychologically and physically．The psychological effects include lowered selfesteem（自尊），depression，fear of being disliked by parents and friends，or fear of being laughed at by the other children．This may also lead to the child shying away，eventually becoming lonely and choosing antisocial things like taking drugs．
The physical problems for an obese child may start a bit late．These include dangerous diseases such as heart failure，high blood pressure，etc．obesity can also lead to sleep disorders and eating disorders．
As for childhood obesity，prevention is better than cure，so some steps need to be taken to ensure a healthy life for the children．Healthy diet，proper exercise and developing good habits in the child are some methods to solve the problem of obesity．We can also ask doctors for their valuable advice about a healthy diet plan and how to lose weight．
