'Obesity could BANKRUPT the NHS' A growing number of obese children undergoes joint ops
CHILDREN as young as 10 are having to undergo joint replacements due to damage caused by obesity, shocking new figures show.
Tam Fry, chairman of the National Obesity Forum, said: “This is tragic.
“Teenagers are still growing and their growth plates are not fused, so a replacement is extremely serious for them.
“Without surgery they might be crippled.
“Obesity is not only causing an increased risk of cancer, heart disease and diabetes but also serious weight‑related joint damage.
“The cost of the obesity epidemic could bankrupt the NHS.”
