Question
How should I handle my 9-year-old daughter’s obesity?
Answer
Based on the situation you described, your daughter’s obesity may be caused by a lack of physical activity. Once a child becomes overweight, they may be reluctant to engage in physical activities, leading to further weight gain. This can create a vicious cycle. Some diseases, such as paralysis, primary muscle disease, or severe developmental delay, can lead to insufficient activity, reduced calorie expenditure, and obesity.
