A 2024 UN survey found that 19.6% of Mongolian children aged 6–18 are overweight and 6.2% have obesity — a reason to pay attention from an early age.
Main causes
Sugary drinks, processed food, reduced activity, more screen time and too little sleep are the main drivers. This is not about blaming the child but changing habits together as a whole family.
Practical advice
- Replace sugary drinks with water and add fruit and vegetables every day.
- Encourage at least 60 minutes of active play daily.
- Limit screen time and ensure age-appropriate sleep.
- Cook and eat together as a family in a positive, blame-free atmosphere.
Unmanaged excess weight in childhood raises the future risk of diabetes and heart disease, so regular growth monitoring is important.
