Abstract:
Obesity 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, as well 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.
