Welcome to Wyandot County Extension

The pediatrician told me that my son is “at risk for overweight.” What does that mean?

The term "at risk for overweight" means your son's weight is at the higher end -- in the 85th to 94th percentile -- when compared with other boys of his age and height. The highest grouping -- for those in the 95th percentile or higher -- is simply called "overweight."

Basically, your pediatrician is alerting you that your son's weight is higher than average. It makes sense to start now to do something about it.  Click here for more information.
