      abstract = {Reviews factors related to overweight and obese children  from birth to age 5, with a focus on nutrition, physical  activity, and sedentary behavior, and recommends policies  that can alter children's environments so that they promote  the maintenance of healthy weight. Because the first years  of life are important to health and well-being throughout  the life span, preventing obesity in infants and young  children can contribute to reversing the epidemic of  obesity in children and adults. The report recommends that  health care providers make parents aware of their child's  excess weight early on. It also suggests that parents and  child care providers keep children active throughout the  day, provide them with healthy diets, limit screen time,  and ensure children get adequate sleep.},
