Question
A four-year-old child, 117 centimeters tall, weighing 35 kilograms, has parents worried about whether they have reached the obesity standard and seeking appropriate treatment methods.
Answer
According to childhood growth standards, a four-year-old child should weigh 32 kilograms. If the weight exceeds 20% of the standard weight, it is considered obesity. The standard height for a four-year-old child is 95 centimeters, so the child’s health condition shows signs of overnutrition. It is recommended that parents take the child to the hospital for a comprehensive examination and encourage them to participate in more outdoor activities, while reducing the intake of foods high in sugar and fat to promote the maintenance of a healthy weight.
