- Obesity-associated annual hospital costs for children and youth more than tripled over two decades, rising from $35 million in 1979–81 to $127 million in 1997–99. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) 1999–2000 National Health and Nutrition Survey (NHANES) estimated that 10.4 percent of children aged 2–5, 15.3 percent of children aged 6–12, and 15.5 percent of children aged 12–19 are overweight, compared to rates of pediatric obesity of 7.2 percent (aged 2–5), 11.3 percent (aged 6–12), and 10.5 percent (aged 12–19) during the 1988–94 surveys.
