One in five Italian children between the ages of eight and nine are overweight and 10% obese, according to a report out Friday.
    The overweight data are falling while obesity rates were stable until last year when they showed a slight rise, said the Okkio alla Salute report for the Higher Health Institute (ISS).
    Almost two out of five children don't eat a proper breakfast, more than 50% have a big snack at mid morning, one in four habitually drinks sugary or fizzy drinks, and have fruit and vegetables less than once a day, said the report, which said "unhealthy eating habits are on the rise".
