香港政府报告显示，约94%的学生每日运动不足，17.5%超重。该报告还指出学生水果蔬菜摄入低、视力健康差以及娱乐屏幕时间过长等问题。
香港卫生署于周二（2026年3月17日）发布报告，基于2024-25学年对约428,000名中小学生的调查和年度健康评估。报告警告，94%的香港学生运动量不足，17.5%超重，比上学年上升0.4个百分点。中学生超重率为17.9%，小学生为17.2%。卫生署社区医学顾问庄淑君医生表示：“儿童和青少年超重会对健康产生不利影响，并与多种非传染性疾病的风险增加和早发有关，如2型糖尿病、心血管疾病和某些癌症。”她补充道：“儿童和青少年肥胖还可能带来不利心理社会后果，影响学生的学业表现和生活质量。”当局敦促学校和家长共同应对这一日益严重的健身危机。
