Mayo Clinic writes that childhood obesity is a serious medical condition that affects children and adolescents. This condition occurs when a child is well above the normal weight for his or her age and height. Childhood obesity is very serious problem because the extra pounds often start children on the path to health problems that were once confined to adults, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
