The waistlines of Beijing's children and teens are expanding at alarming high rates, a new survey indicated.
Obesity among students at the capital's primary and middle schools hit 15.6 percent in 2014, up 2.6 percent from 2013, according to data released by Beijing's public health watchdog on Thursday. 
Bad eating habits and inadequate physical activities were blamed for the super-sizing of children and adolescents in Beijing, the public health watchdog said.
