[...]there is a need to find the pulmonary functions test values among obese adolescents and create awareness of the drawbacks of obesity as this is the high-risk period for the onset of obesity which predicts body mass index in adulthood. For industrialized countries, it has been suggested that an increase in body weight primarily caused by a reduced level of physical activity. Decrease junk food consumption, avoid watching television while eating, increase physical activity, increase fruit consumption, screen time (watching television, computer, and mobile devices) is restricted, and increase in routine activities like household chores walking to school should be encouraged. [...]drug therapy and surgery are reserved for morbid cases. [...]a fruitful approach will be to identify those children are at risk of obesity and find a way of preventing it.
