Last February the media widely reported a 43% drop in obesity among U.S. preschoolers. These reports were based on CDC data showing obesity prevalence dropped from 14% in 2003-2004 to 8% in 2010-2012. The sample size was a very small 900, yet the CDC press release highlighted this big change. Even the study authors cautioned these results should be "interpreted with caution." Unfortunately, childhood obesity is still a major problem.
