Armenia AM: Prevalence of Overweight: Weight for Height: Male: % of Children Under 5

Armenia AM: Prevalence of Overweight: Weight for Height: Male: % of Children Under 5 data was reported at 14.600 % in 2016. This records a decrease from the previous number of 18.300 % for 2010. Armenia AM: Prevalence of Overweight: Weight for Height: Male: % of Children Under 5 data is updated yearly, averaging 14.600 % from Dec 1998 (Median) to 2016, with 5 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 19.400 % in 2000 and a record low of 10.400 % in 1998. Armenia AM: Prevalence of Overweight: Weight for Height: Male: % of Children Under 5 data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Armenia – Table AM.World Bank.WDI: Social: Health Statistics. Prevalence of overweight, male, is the percentage of boys under age 5 whose weight for height is more than two standard deviations above the median for the international reference population of the corresponding age as established by the WHO's 2006 Child Growth Standards.;UNICEF, WHO, World Bank: Joint child Malnutrition Estimates (JME). Aggregation is based on UNICEF, WHO, and the World Bank harmonized dataset (adjusted, comparable data) and methodology.;;Estimates of overweight children are from national survey data. Once considered only a high-income economy problem, overweight children have become a growing concern in developing countries. Research shows an association between childhood obesity and a high prevalence of diabetes, respiratory disease, high blood pressure, and psychosocial and orthopedic disorders (de Onis and Blössner 2003). Childhood obesity is associated with a higher chance of obesity, premature death, and disability in adulthood. In addition to increased future risks, obese children experience breathing difficulties and increased risk of fractures, hypertension, early markers of cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, and psychological effects. Children in low- and middle-income countries are more vulnerable to inadequate nutrition before birth and in infancy and early childhood. Many of these children are exposed to high-fat, high-sugar, high-salt, calorie-dense, micronutrient-poor foods, which tend be lower in cost than more nutritious foods. These dietary patterns, in conjunction with low levels of physical activity, result in sharp increases in childhood obesity, while under-nutrition continues.

亚美尼亚AM：超重发病率：身高体重比：男性：5岁以下儿童超重百分比数据在2016年报告为14.600%，较2010年的18.300%有所下降。亚美尼亚AM：超重发病率：身高体重比：男性：5岁以下儿童超重百分比数据每年更新，自1998年12月（中位数）至2016年，平均值为14.600%，共有5个观测值。数据在2000年达到历史最高值19.400%，在1998年达到历史最低值10.400%。亚美尼亚AM：超重发病率：身高体重比：男性：5岁以下儿童超重百分比数据在CEIC中保持活跃状态，并由世界银行报告。该数据归类于全球数据库中的亚美尼亚-AM.World Bank.WDI：社会：健康统计数据。超重男性发病率是指5岁以下男孩体重与身高之比超过世界卫生组织2006年儿童生长标准对应年龄国际参考人群中位数两个标准差以上的百分比；联合国儿童基金会、世界卫生组织、世界银行：联合儿童营养不良估计（JME）。数据聚合基于联合国儿童基金会、世界卫生组织和世界银行协调的数据集（调整后、可比数据）和方法。；超重儿童估计值来自国家调查数据。一度仅被视为高收入经济体的问题，超重儿童已成为发展中国家日益关注的问题。研究表明，儿童肥胖与糖尿病、呼吸系统疾病、高血压以及心理社会和矫形疾病的发病率高有关（de Onis 和 Blössner，2003年）。儿童肥胖与成年后肥胖、过早死亡和残疾的风险增加有关。除了增加未来的风险外，肥胖儿童还会经历呼吸困难、骨折风险增加、高血压、心血管疾病早期指标、胰岛素抵抗和心理影响。低收入和中等收入国家的儿童在出生前、婴儿期和学龄前早期更容易遭受营养不良。许多这些儿童暴露于高脂肪、高糖、高盐、热量密集、微量元素含量低的食物中，这些食物通常比营养更丰富的食物成本低。这些饮食习惯与体力活动水平低相结合，导致儿童肥胖急剧增加，而营养不良现象持续存在。
