According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a sedentary lifestyle makes two million people dead each year in the world. There is a strong link between obesity and sedentary life, and the long-term consequences are particularly worrying for the child.

The results reveal: 24.5% overweight (obesity included) and 20.8% abdominal obesity more present in boys (p <0.01).
