o a general role of overeating and physical inactivity (from both lack of exercise and excess inactivity) in obese British children. She advised, In this major British survey, overweight children had significantly longer sedentary periods than children of normal weight.

The reasons for obesity developing and continuing in children are complex, including both diet and lifestyle. The solution to obesity is also unlikely to be as simple as reducing individual food or drink products.

Further studies should test these strategies using reliable dietary and physical activity measurements over a reasonable period of time.
