BMI is Skyrocketing in Kids Right Now and We Have the Solution!
🚨[SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS] BMI rate in kids is skyrocketing right now and here's why.
According to a new CDC report, kids’ BMI has been increasing at nearly DOUBLE the rate than it did before the pandemic began.
BMI (body mass index) is a measure of weight to height that’s an “easy screening method for weight category: underweight, healthy weight, overweight, and obesity.”
And alarmingly, the increase was especially high in preschool and school-aged children who were already overweight or obese before the pandemic.
This is DEFINITELY something we all need to be paying attention to.
There were 432,302 kids aged 2 to 19 years old in the study.
They found the rate of BMI increase jumped from 0.052 (pre-pandemic) to 0.100 kg/m2/month during the pandemic.
In more understandable terms, in August 2019, the obesity rate in the group was 19.3% (already high) … and it reached 22.4% in August 2020.
(FYI 42.4% of US adults are obese, according to the most recent stats.)
We already knew that kids were gaining weight during the pandemic because of all of the changes in their daily habits …
But this study shows how significant this negative impact was in just ONE YEAR.
Here’s another key finding:
The CDC found that children who were already obese gained about 1 to 1.2 pounds a month, putting them on track to gain 6.1 to 7.3 pounds in 6 months.
This group is gaining weight at a faster rate compared to the 2.7 pounds in those with a healthy weight.
Straight from the study:
“Accelerated weight gain, especially among children with overweight or obesity, can cause long-lasting metabolic changes that put children at risk for serious and costly co-occurring conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and depression.”
The US already has a high level of obesity among kids, affecting more than one in six children.
This is serious stuff, folks.
