Overweight Children and Adolescents
Abstract
A seven-year-old girl is 130 cm tall (the 90th percentile for girls of the same age) and weighs 34.6 kg (above the 95th percentile), with a body-mass index of 20.5 (above the 95th percentile). Physical examination reveals no abnormalities aside from her excess weight. She eats fast food and drinks soft drinks regularly, has limited exercise, and watches television or uses the computer for hours each day. What should you advise?

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
