    Obese two-year-old weighs as much as adult woman, Taocun town, Shanxi province, China - 06 Apr 2010
    THE TWO-YEAR-OLD WHO WEIGHS THE SAME AS AN ADULT

    She may only be two years old but young Pang Ya already tips the scales at 6.5st - the same as an average fully grown Chinese woman.

    Ya, of Taocun town, Shanxi province, was born at a normal weight of 4kg, but has piled on the pounds ever since.

    Her worried parents, father Fan Ruixiao and mother Zhang Chunmi, are now desperately looking for a way to help their daughter slim down.

    They first became concerned when Ya was just 8 months old and already weighed 20kg (3.1st).

    Scared that something was wrong with their daughter they took her to hospital for a check up.

    However, doctors were unable to explain why Ya is the size she is. And a subsequent visit to another hospital in August last year proved to be just as fruitless.

    "Doctors can't figure out the reasons for her obesity, which worries us a lot," said Ya's mother Chunmi, who now spends all her time at home taking care of her daughter.

    "Doctors have never seen a girl as big as her. We searched the internet and can't find anyone who is heavier than her at her age, so she could be the heaviest kid in China".

    Now at the age of two Ya weighs 41.5kg (6.5st) and has to wear clothes meant for 7-8 year olds.

    At just under 1m tall, she is almost four times heavier than other children her age and stands out drastically when surrounded by her friends.

    According to mother Chunmi bullying so far hasn't been a problem. "No one dares to bully her. She is really fierce".

    But Ya's weight is already having serious affects in other areas. "Her weight doesn't stop her from playing but she gets tired if she walks long, and she seldom runs. She also has difficulty in squatting down".

    However, doctors were unable to explain why Ya is the size she is. And a subsequent visit to another hospital in August last year proved to be just as fruitless.

    "Doctors can't figure out the reasons for her obesity, which worries us a lot," said Ya's mother Chunmi, who now spends all her time at home taking care of her daughter.

    "Doctors have never seen a girl as big as her. We searched the internet and can't find anyone who is heavier than her at her age, so she could be the heaviest kid in China".

    Now at the age of two Ya weighs 41.5kg (6.5st) and has to wear clothes meant for 7-8 year olds.

    At just under 1m tall, she is almost four times heavier than other children her age and stands out drastically when surrounded by her friends.

    According to mother Chunmi bullying so far hasn't been a problem. "No one dares to bully her. She is really fierce".

    But Ya's weight is already having serious affects in other areas. "Her weight doesn't stop her from playing but she gets tired if she walks long, and she seldom runs. She also has difficulty in squatting down".

    THE TWO-YEAR-OLD WHO WEIGHS THE SAME AS AN ADULT

    She may only be two years old but young Pang Ya already tips the scales at 6.5st - the same as an average fully grown Chinese woman.

    Ya, of Taocun town, Shanxi province, was born at a normal weight of 4kg, but has piled on the pounds ever since.

    Her worried parents, father Fan Ruixiao and mother Zhang Chunmi, are now desperately looking for a way to help their daughter slim down.

    They first became concerned when Ya was just 8 months old and already weighed 20kg (3.1st).

    Scared that something was wrong with their daughter they took her to hospital for a check up.

    However, doctors were unable to explain why Ya is the size she is. And a subsequent visit to another hospital in August last year proved to be just as fruitless.

    "Doctors can't figure out the reasons for her obesity, which worries us a lot," said Ya's mother Chunmi, who now spends all her time at home taking care of her daughter.

    "Doctors have never seen a girl as big as her. We searched the internet and can't find anyone who is heavier than her at her age, so she could be the heaviest kid in China".
