Discover why one in four toddlers is getting too fat and what it takes to keep a child a healthy weight. Can science explain why quintuplet Ben, the tiniest of toddlers, is at risk of being overweight as an adult? Does looking into Joshua’s ancestry reveal why some kids eat too much? Will Shine be at risk of becoming obese simply because she lives in a low-income postcode? A longitudinal study of Australian children has found that biology is only part of the childhood obesity story. Life at 3: Fighting Fat breaks the latest science on the biggest health issue facing Australian children. It pinpoints key factors–some surprising–about why our kids are getting too fat.
