- Abstract
The article presents a study that equates the frequency of musculoskeletal problems in obese and overweight children with that in normal-weight children. The survey shows that obese and overweight children in 2-11 and 12-17 years old presented more musculoskeletal problems that children with normal weight. It reveals that overweight children accounted more lower extremity problems than children with normal weight.
