Annals of Family Medicine, 07/14/09
Krul M et al. - Overweight and obese children in both age-groups (2 to 11 years and 12 to 17 years) reported significantly more musculoskeletal problems than normal-weight children. The total group of children who were overweight or obese reported more lower extremity problems than did the normal-weight children; furthermore, they reported more ankle and foot problems than children who were of normal weight. Overweight and obese children aged 12 to 17 years consulted their family physicians more often with lower extremity problems than did the normal-weight children.
