| Abstract | This chapter investigates the relationship between childhood obesity and a variety of educational outcomes. A data analysis covering 32 countries explores the association between performance at school and obesity in children aged 11 to 15, and assesses the degree of inequality across countries. A longitudinal analysis investigates a potential causal relationship between childhood obesity and academic performance as well as education attainment in five countries. Finally, the chapter discusses the broader consequences of the relationship between obesity and educational outcomes, for individuals and the economy. |
