Nutritional management is an important component of the treatment of pediatric overweight and obesity, therefore our aim is to provide a tool that integrates the
current recommendations and clinical expertise to assist dietitians in their decision making about nutritional management of pediatric overweight obesity. Childhood
overweight is a serious public health concern. The BMI helps indicate if your child is overweight for his or her age and height. Children can achieve healthy weight and
growth with the help of their parents and family. The whole family will benefit from making healthy life style choices, limiting takeaway and junk food and increasing
physical activity.
