I know that if parents are out of shape, kids are likely to be too. Can we find data for kids?

2023-11-09 18:28:37 UTC

NO BMI information on children. We could ask pediatricians offices

want to see a breakdown of the 4 percent of those without health insurance.

For the most part, yes. We are seeing a lot of trends with technology causing kids (and adults) to be more sedentary.
