儿童肥胖是一个迅速增长的问题，儿科医生可能没有充分认识到这一问题。我们回顾了 473 次连续的儿童健康检查，以评估正确识别超重儿童的频率。在体重指数高于性别和年龄第 95 个百分位数的儿童中，只有 27 名 (29%) 被医生诊断为超重。我们的结果表明，在儿童健康检查中诊断儿童超重的频率非常低。
Obesity in children is a rapidly growing problem and may be underrecognized by pediatricians. We reviewed 473 consecutive well child visits to assess frequency of correctly identifying overweight children. Of children with a body mass index greater than the 95th percentile for gender and age, only 27 (29%) were diagnosed as overweight by the physician. Our results suggest that the frequency of diagnosing children as overweight at well child visits is critically low.
