      随着越来越多5岁以下儿童成为超重和肥胖儿童，减肥机构正在国内遍地开花。一些减肥训练营承诺，能帮助存在体重问题的儿童在3个月内减重5至15公斤。根据世界卫生组织10月发布的一份报告，全球5岁以下的超重和肥胖儿童已达4200万人，其中多数生活在发展中国家。报告指出，发展中国家超重和肥胖儿童人数的增长率较发达国家高出30%。在发展中国家，人们经常摄入快餐、碳酸饮料等高脂肪高糖食品饮料。同时，视频游戏和汽车的不断普及导致多数人的运动时间有限。(人民日报海外版)
Weight-loss camps surge
As more and more children under the age of 5 are declared overweight and obese, institutions are popping up all over China with the goal of helping people to lose weight. Some weight loss camps guarantee that they can help children with weight problems lose 5 to 15 kg in 3 months. The number of overweight and obese children under 5 around the world has reached 42m, and most are living in developing countries, according to a report released by the World Health Organization in October. According to the report, the growth rate of this group in developing countries is 30% higher than in developed countries. Food that is heavy in fat and sugar, such as fast food and carbonated beverages, is frequently consumed by people in developing countries. At the same time, a growing prevalence of video games and cars has limited the time most people spend doing sports.
