Some kids are more obese by ages 2-5 than others, which is alarming because early childhood obesity tends to continue into adulthood.

What can we do?

Let’s use #SaludTues on Jan. 26, 2016, to tweet about new Salud America! research on innovative strategies to help kids achieve a healthy weight, including how to address maternal obesity, unhealthy infant feeding patterns, and workplace and childcare issues that affect nutrition and physical activity levels.
