Resumen o Introducción
Childhood obesity is seemingly becoming an enormous epidemiological challenge to the global healthcare system. In the past decade, prevalence rates of childhood obesity have assumed upward trends, in which developed countries record the highest percentages of obese and overweight children. However, prevalence rates in developing countries are increasing at a slow phase but, the overall obese children population remains relatively low.
Therefore, this research paper will give an overview of the correlation between Socioeconomic Status and childhood obesity. Although there are many factors that put children at risk for childhood obesity, Social Economic Status seems to affect all risk factors that are responsible for the increase in childhood obesity.
