 obesity. According to the WHO, an adult with a BMI of more than 25kg/m² is overweight, while one with a BMI of more than or equal to 30kg/m² is obese. These standard BMI cut-off values for adults are now generally utilized for all genders, regardless of age [9]. Obesity in children is described as an excess of adipose tissue that affects the health and well-being of the child. Defining overweight and obese using BMI for age may be differently used between countries as it depends on the reference data and cut- offs used [11]. According to the WHO cut-offs, a child or adolescent is overweight if his/her BMI for age and sex is > 1 SD and obese if BMI is >2SD above the average or median [12]. The Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cut-offs define overweight as 85th but < 95th percentiles, and 95th percentile as obese as per age- specific BMI charts developed by the CDC [13]. 5G Wireless Communication System in Healthcare Informatics GLOBAL TRENDS AMONG CHILDREN Childhood obesity is on the rise around the world, with disturbing trends in the United States, United Kingdom, and other wealthy countries, as well as in low- and middle- income countries [14]. CPOND [15] published a report in 2015 on situational analysis of child BMI monitoring in the Pacific Islands and Territories (PICTS) Information on prevalence and trends in childhood obesity is missing in many PICTs. Likewise, there is inadequate information on existing systems for regular childhood BMI monitoring in a minimum of 16 Pacific Island countries. The Children's Healthy Living (CHL) Project [16], in collaboration with government agencies initiatives, and communities throughout the northern United States affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPI) region, had developed a child BMI monitoring approach. The CHL program stresses American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas (CNMI), the Freely Associated States of Micronesia (Republic of Marshall Islands, Palau, FSM), Guam, and Hawaii. The goal of the initiative was to address childhood obesity t
