To describe: The recommended approach to treatment for Person T based on a staged treatment plan for pediatric obesity.
Introduction: Pediatric obesity is a nutritional disorder that can cause serious health concern in affected children. Therefore, a systematic approach should be followed for proper assessment for nutritional intervention to treat them. The staged treatment is a four-stage based approach for the treatment of pediatric obesity. These stages are as follows:
1. Stage 1 (Prevention Plus).
2. Stage 2 (Structured Weight Management).
3. Stage3 (Comprehensive Multidisciplinary Approach).
4. Stage 4 (Tertiary Care intervention): this stage is for highly obese children who had previously failed other interventions.

- The body mass index B of a person of mass m kg and height h meters is given by the formula B(m,h)=m/h^(2).One child increased his previous height of 1.2 meters by 3 centimeters, and his mass increased from 29 kg to 32 kg. Use the differential to estimate how much the child's body mass index has changed.arrow_forwardWhat is the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and the risk of developing chronic diseases?arrow_forwardList the recommended percentage of body fatness values for health and fitness for males and females, and explain the concern for both high and low values.arrow_forward

Dr. Penningworth is concerned about Keyla’s size and developmental delays. He diagnoses her with failure to thrive as her weight measurement places her in the second percentile on the growth chart. Discuss the following questions: At 6 months, what developmental stages should Keyla have achieved, and if she fails to thrive what problems could it cause for her? Explain some common causes of FTT in newborns and infants.arrow_forward
