Audit of Looked After Children (LAC) in residential care and BMI increase in one UK local authority
The rise of obesity among the UK’s child population has become a serious public health issue. Looked after children (LAC) have been highlighted as a vulnerable group, with increased health needs compared to other children and young people from comparable socio-economic backgrounds. Among the risks of serious complications related to obesity in children and young adults are cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, lipid abnormalities, sleep apnoea and musculoskeletal disorders. This health note summarises findings from a recent cross-sectional study of 14 children in five residential care homes in one UK local authority.
