Childhood obesity is one of the most serious public health challenges of the 21st
century. This problem, which has been described as an epidemic by some, is a
global problem and is increasing at an alarming rate.
The obesity rate of children
worldwide has increased from 4.2% in 1990 to 6.7% in 2010. Globally, in 2010 it
was estimated that over 42 million children under the age of five whereas
overweight. Of the estimated 42 million, close to 32 million of these children are
living in developing countries.
In 2020 the prevalence of childhood obesity is
expected to reach 91% or, in other words affect 60 million children.

In Africa,
childhood obesity was at 8.5% in 2010 and is predicted to reach 12.7% by 2020.
South Africa is by no means unaffected by this global health issue. According to
world health statistics South African children are rated as the fifth most obese in the
world. Up to 5% of boys and an astounding 25% of girls in South Africa are obese
or overweight.
Only the United Kingdom, Canada, United States of America and
Mexico outdo South Africa’s childhood obesity statistics.
These numbers are a
cause of great concern, as studies have shown that overweight or obese children are
two times more likely to be obese adults.
Obese adults in turn face a series of
serious health consequences such as cardiovascular disease.
