Lack of physical activity, unhealthy eating habits or a combination of the two may also be the reason. Obese children are at risk for a number of conditions such as: high cholesterol, high blood pressure, early heart disease, diabetes, problems bone, skin conditions like rash, fungal infections and acne. Being overweight and obese also increases the risk of many types of cancer, including breast, colon, endometrial, esophagus, kidney cancer , pancreas, gallbladder, thyroid, ovaries, cervix and prostate, as well as multiple myeloma and Hodgkin lymphoma. Obese children tend to become obese adults.
