More Idaho Stats • 26% of the 160,000 Idaho kids ages 10-17 yo are considered overweight or obese.# • Hispanic children have almost double the rate of overweight/obesity than non-Hispanic children (49% vs 24%). • Kids with public insurance have almost double the incidence compared to those with private insurance (40% vs 22%). • 29% of low-income children ages 2-5 years participating in WIC are overweight/obese.* # 2003 National Survey of Children’s Health * 2006 Pediatric Nutrition Surveillance System (PedNSS)
My question is… Is there a need for a comprehensive pediatric weight management program here in the Treasure Valley?
