In this Healthed lecture, Dr Shirley Alexander - Paediatrician and Staff Specialist at The Children's Hospital at Westmead, explains that children who have obesity are more likely to become adults with obesity. When children are obese, their obesity and disease risk factors in adulthood are likely to be more severe. Dr Alexander provides strategies for GPs to discuss obesity issues with parents and children.
