O
besity is the most important public health problems in
children and adolescents in the word. Overweight and
obese children are likely to stay obese into adulthood and more
likely to develop non communicable diseases like diabetes
and cardiovascular diseases at a younger age. Overweight and
obesity, aswell as their related diseases, are largely preventable.
The purpose of this study is evaluation of formula protein
content and obesity in children.
The results of studies showed that high protein content in
formulas can increase BMI and obesity without any beneficial
effect on height growth of children, but studies showed that
amount of dietary protein at 6 months of age and beyond does
not correlate with BMI and body fat in childhood. The studies
concluded weight gain in the first two years of life has a direct
relationship with higher BMI and preventive measures for
obesity should begin before pregnancy and continue in infancy
and childhood.
