Title
Medication use in normal weight and overweight children in a nationally representative sample of Canadian children.
Authors
Kuhle, Stefan; Fung, Christina; Veugelers, Paul J
Abstract
As overweight and obese children are more likely to develop serious medical conditions, they incur higher doctor and hospital costs compared to their normal weight counterparts. Consequently, the differential healthcare costs between obese and normal weight children may be even greater if medication use is considered.
