Brief Summary:
Objective Obesity amongst children is a public health issue in the United States and is rising at an alarming rate The purpose of this study is to determine if there is any correlation between At Risk body weight overweight and obese and immediate health of the pediatric population
Methodology As part of routine patient care we measured length in addition to weight of patients 2 years to 18 years of age presenting to the pediatric emergency department A report was run monthly to calculate the BMI of all patients for whom data is available The data were plotted on the year 2000 gender based BMI for age percentile growth charts from CDC A retrospective electronic chart review was conducted for patients At Risk body weight BMI 85 and were compared to control or healthy BMI of 25 - 75 group for six groups of final ED diagnoses of infectious diseases
