Body Mass Index is a simple index of weight / height that is commonly used to classify overweight and obesity in adults. They have inherited gene from their parents that make their bodies weight easily. This would have been a very good trait hundreds of years ago, when food was hard to find and people were very active. Today, though, this can work against people who have these genes. Genetics is not the only cause of obesity. To become obese, children must also eat more calories than they need for growth and energy. Environment factors are that surround the children and influence their feed intake and physical activity. These factors are seen in various setting such as at home, in school, and in the community.
