Obesity ResourceAccording to the Centers for Disease Control, the percentage of children between the ages of six and 11 who are overweight doubled between 1976 and 2002. Among kids between the ages of 13 and 19, the percentage who were overweight tripled between 1976 and 2002. Children who are overweight are at increased risk of serious health problems. Many health and nutrition experts believe that children today may actually have a lower life expectancy than their parents, an astounding reversal of continuous progress in extending the lifespan. Thanks to the hard work of the Council for Excellence in Government Youth Obesity Results team, Connect for Kids offers a comprehensive collection of resources to help Americans understand and take action on this tough issue.
