Large numbers of large children are having gallbladder surgery
Yet more evidence that the obesity is out-of-control
One UK borough’s childhood obesity problem has hit an alarming milestone. Half the children of Knowsley are overweight. It’s only a matter of time before we see that one-in-two children overweight rate in regions across the UK are part of the spiralling statistic.
Although this article is not looking at the South Asian community in Knowsley, it is my estimation that in areas with large populations of South Asians, it will be the South Asians who make up the majority of the overweight children. Statistics already illustrate that South Asians are least physically active demographic.
