Children in TRNC among fattest in world - Study

Secondary school-age children in the TRNC are among the fattest in the world, a new study has indicated.

Around one in three children aged 12 to 15 is either overweight or obese, according to research conducted by the Cyprus Turkish Diabetes Association (KTDD).

The findings were based on measurements of 698 children taken at 607 households throughout July.
They showed that 16.9 per cent were “overweight” and another 14.8 per cent were “obese” — almost 32 per cent in total.
