DIABETES & YOUTH
1-in-8 school-aged children are obese and 1-in-4 are overweight.
Overweight in childhood and adolescence is associated with obesity as adults.
The number of children with diabetes ages 6 to 17 has doubled in the last three decades.
Obese children are 53 times more likely to be insulin resistant as those who are not obese.
