AB  - DEFINITIONS AND EPIDEMIOLOGY OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY. Childhood overweight and 
      obesity are defined using the curves established by the International Obesity 
      Task Force (IOTF). A child is overweight when his BMI is above the IOTF 25 curve 
      (corresponding to a Body Mass Index [BMI] of 25 at the age of 18). He is obese 
      when his BMI is above the IOTF 30 threshold. However, in clinical practice, it is 
      more important to appreciate the evolution of the curve than the level of 
      corpulence itself, as this helps to orientate the diagnosis and better understand 
      the mechanisms of excessive weight gain. Currently, even if a stabilization of 
      the prevalence seems to have been observed between the years 2000 and 2015 in 
      developed countries, this is not the case in the lower income countries. In 
      France, 18% of children are overweight, of which 3 to 4% are obese, with a very 
      marked social gradient. Since 2015, there has been a trend towards a re-increase 
      in severe forms of obesity, particularly among girls and children from families 
      with the greatest socio-economic difficulties. The initial confinement imposed by 
      the Covid-19 pandemic seems to have aggravated this trend.
