also body composition, or the amount of muscle and fatty tissue. Given these criteria,
research studies indicate that between 16 and 25% of American children are obese.
Contributing factors include an increase in television viewing (and the number of
commercials advertising high fat and high sugar foods) and a decline in the number of
families engaging in physical activity as a part of their family interactions.
