5년 연속 증가하고 있는 초중고생 비만군 비율

A recent government study shows that obesity among young Korean students is on the rise.
Seoul's education ministry says 25 percent of young students in the country were obese last year.
The obesity rate has been increasing every year since 2014, when the figure was just over 21 percent.
The overall health of school students is also deteriorating, mainly due to a lack of exercise and sleep, as well as an unhealthy diet.
