my son mi shows that he is obese in 95th percentile how can I help him
hi welcome to icliniq com your son has good height and for the same reason his weight is not worrisome but definitely he is on 95th gentile for his height as well as for his age also his mi body mass index is 4 which puts him in the category of obese let him have a lot of outdoor activity avoid sitting for a long time in front of the computer or to and avoid junk foods swimming is the best activity for this age and swimming for at least 30 45 minutes daily or at least five days a week will help him let him have a good balanced home food with less fat child obesity at this age has higher chances for him to be obese as an adult with all its other consequences so it is better to have some precautions but no need for a dieting regime at this age as he is a growing boy and needs more calories from proteins for his overall growth I hope this helps
