There is a growing trend of unhealthy weight among children.
To better understand the factors associated with the trend, officials at the Shaw Centre for Pediatric Excellence are on a mission to collect data on the issue and its correlation to the National Nutrition Policy.
An invitation has been extended to all parents of primary school-aged children to sign up for the
Childhood Nutrition Surveillance Study.
Head of the Department of Clinical Sciences and Pediatric Consultant at the QEH, Dr. Paula Lashley, says there’s need for data on younger children.
She was a guest on Mornin’ Barbados.
