In the same journal, the first national survey of childhood obesity to include American-Indian and Asian ethnic groups found that 18% of 4-year-olds in the U.S. are obese, or in the 95th percentile of body-mass index (BMI), a ratio of weight to height. That percentage is almost doubled among American-Indian children, 31% of whom are obese...
