Record numbers of children are being admitted to NHS hospitals in the UK for -related ailments. Kids under 18 admitted have increased by 30% in the past 5 years.

Ailments for which the children have been admitted include joint, heart, liver and breathing problems.

More and more younger children are being admitted too. In 1998, 113 children were admitted, of whom 25 were under 10. In 2008, 210 under 18 were admitted, with 29 under 10.

About a third of children are obese by the time they start secondary school.
