Une petite anecote médicale - comment passer de mince à obèse

Pour inscrire Mlle E à l'école publique, on devait lui faire le test du BCG (savoir si elle a eu le vaccin et s'il fonctionne).

Elle a fait le test vendredi et elle devait retourner le lire à le dimanche (oui oui le dimanche !).

En décembre, elle avait déjà fait une visite médicale et elle avait été mesurée à 1,108 cm (si ça c'est pas précis !).

Dimanche, soit par erreur de lecture, soit par erreur de frappe, il est noté qu'elle mesure 1,02cm.

Son poids, lui n'a pas changé : 39 pounds (17,7 kg).

Sauf que du coup, son IMC a fait un bon : elle est passée de mince à obèse pour son âge !

 Le soir, on a reçu un mail très sérieux de Kaiser que je vous laisse lire :

Dear Mme Maman,

Today Mlle E had a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 80%ile based on CDC 2-20 Years BMI-for-age data. BMI uses height, weight, age and sex to determine a healthy weight range for children. A healthy weight range is 5% to 84%. Here are some things Mlle E can do to stay or get to a healthy weight.
A healthy lifestyle can help your child feel good, stay at a healthy weight, and have lots of energy for school and play. It also helps prevent diabetes, heart disease, and other serious health problems.
You have the power to teach healthy habits that will last a lifetime. Here are some tips that can bring big rewards for your entire family:

GET MOVING – aim for at least 60 minutes of activity a day. 

PULL THE PLUG- limit screen time (TV, computers, and video games) to no more than 1 to 2 hours a day. Please, no TV in Mlle E's bedroom.

EAT SMART – aim for 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. 

DRINK WELL—limit soda, sports drinks, juice and other sweetened drinks. Serve water and non-fat (skim) or low-fat (1%) milk.

Eat Smart:

Provide a healthy breakfast every day.

Choose whole grains, lean meats, low fat dairy, and lots of fruits and vegetables.
Plan ahead and pack healthy lunches and snacks. Let your child shop and cook with you.
Be a role model for your family. Let your child see you enjoying your vegetables.
Enjoy your meals together as a family as often as possible. Sit at the table, with the TV off.
Serve everyone the same meal. Do not prepare separate food for your child.
Cut back on sweets and fast food, which tends to be full of salt, fat, and extra calories.
Do not bribe or reward your child with food.

Get Moving:

Provide opportunities for your child to be active every day. P.E. is not enough physical activity.
Set a good example. Adults need 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity most days of the week.
Enjoy being active as a family by taking regular walks or bike rides. 

Keep track of the days you are active. Set goals and reward yourselves.

En gros, on doit faire attention à ce qu'on mange, faire du sport et arrêter de la gaver devant la télé sinon elle risque de nombreuses maladies.

L'idée est bonne mais je crois qu'ils auraient du vérifier leur info avant de nous envoyer un tel message... Ils auront au moins eu le mérite de me faire rire !
