U.S. obesity rates have risen at an alarming rate among all children, but Latino youths have some of the highest overweight and obesity rates and are part of the nation’s largest, youngest, and fastest-growing minority group.

Yet there is little research on Latino children, making it difficult to address their specific issues.
