Alarming New Studies: 50% of U.S. Children Have Chronic Disease/Disorders, 21% Developmentally DisabledAmerican children are suffering more and more disorders—and are growing into even sicker adults—the worst of most major countries.

published in Academic Pediatrics, an estimated 43% of US children (32 million) currently have at least 1 of 20 chronic health conditions assessed, increasing to 54.1% when overweight, obesity, or being at risk
