The 'Raising Healthy Kids (RHK) health target ' recommended that children identified as having obesity [body mass index (BMI) >/=98th centile] through growth screening at the B4 School Check (B4SC) be offered referral for subsequent assessment and intervention.
Early onset Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), including obesity, allergies, and mental ill-health in childhood, present a serious and increasing threat to lifelong health and longevity.
