This is the first heart health promotion book aimed at children 3-7 years old has just been published by a Chicago physician and his six-year-old son.
"Increasing studies show once children are seven, they've largely already determined whether they'll get heart disease. The risk factors, even the early heart damage, are already in place. says Eugene Lipov M.D., a Chicago physician who co-authored the children's book with his six-year-old son. "This is an attempt to reach those children." Dr. Lipov is Director of Pain Research at Northwest Community Hospital.
Studies have shown that about 24 percent of U.S. children aged 2 to 5 are overweight, defined as having a body-mass index (BMI) in the 85th percentile or above for their height and age. That number rises to 33 percent among children aged 6 to 11, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
