Thanks to the substantial economic development in the country, obesity is replacing malnutrition and growth delay in becoming a new prominent health issue among China's youth. In December 2020, China's National Health Commission reported that while the average height of youngsters between six and 17 years old increased between 2015 and 2020, the obesity rate also rose continuously, with almost one in five children and adolescents aged between six and 17 years being obese or overweight.
