ABSTRACT
Forty-five percent of adult obesity cases begin in infancy. Obese children can be identified early; eating and activity patterns are characteristic. It is not known whether obesity is genetically or environmentally determined, but it clearly runs in families; the child of obese parents is at risk. After endogenous obesity has been ruled out, management requires caloric restriction, increased physical activity, and careful record keeping.
