Abstract:
:Obesity is a common nutritional problem among children. Using the Futrex 5000A method of bodyfat measurement, this prospective study determined the percentage bodyfat in a self-selected, indigent, predominantly black population and the accuracy of perceived body image. Bodyfat exceeded the optimal range in 39% and 67% of female and male children, respectively. Females tended to view themselves as fatter and males perceived themselves as thinner than their actual composition. Parents were more accurate in their perception of obesity in their daughters (88%) than in their sons (52%). Children did not recognize the importance of exercise in preventing obesity. Bodyfat measurement and counseling should be done at an early age to improve this remarkable lack of perception about obesity.
