abstract
The issue of childhood obesity is a complicated, multifaceted problem that faces many of today’s adolescents. As of 2009, it has been recommended by the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force that children six years or older be screened for overweight and obesity using body mass index percentiles. A thorough review of literature related to initiatives fighting childhood obesity was completed in order to identify and draw a conclusion about the role the dietitian plays in helping to prevent and/or treat childhood obesity. It has been recognized that it will take a comprehensive, group approach that includes health professionals such as pediatricians, dietitians, and counseling specialists trained to implement lifestyle changes in children and their families in order to help treat pediatric overweight and obesity. It is recommended that today’s dietitian use evidence-based research provided by the American Dietetic Association in order to take part in the group effort to screen, assess, and treat pediatric overweight and obesity. note
