 What are the causes of childhood obesity?



A mother asks what causes childhood obesity?

Dr. Amira Shamseddine, Professor of Internal Medicine at Alexandria University, answers this question, saying that there are many reasons behind obesity in children, first of all the lack of thyroid activity, in this case accompanied by a delay in teething with the roughness of the child's hair.

Obesity may occur as a result of the over activity of a certain center in the brain responsible for regulating the feeling of hunger and satiety as the excess secretion of cortisone from the gland above the kidneys causes the concentration of obesity in the upper part of the body and in the arms beside the thinness of the legs in addition to the presence of red lines on the abdomen.

The genetic factor also plays a key role in childhood obesity.
