AB  - The  last  50  years  have  seen  a  marked  increase  in  the  prevalence  of  overweight  and  obesity  in  the  pediatric  population.  This  deviation  from  historical  norms  has  been  so  great  that  agencies  such  as  the  World  Health  Organization  (WHO)  and  the  Centers  for  Disease  Control  and  Prevention  (CDC)  have  opted  to  ignore  the  most  recent  weight  data  from  their  reference  populations  when  generating  their  newest  growth  curves  for  the  clinical  follow-up  of  height,  weight,  and  body  mass  index  (BMI)  by  health  professionals.
