Significance

Genes, gender (females are more prone), age, and total amount of body fat are all factors that influence the presence of cellulite. Also, the thickness of a person's skin can play a role in the appearance of cellulite.
Effects
-
Children, especially girls, are sensitive about their appearance. Distorted body images begin at an early age. Cellulite occurs normally in children, most often during puberty, when their bodies are going through hormonal changes.

Diet
-
A healthy diet rich in low-fat foods, fruits, and vegetables can help reduce cellulite in children. Dieting is not recommended for children, but they can follow a healthy diet.
Exercise
-
Exercise with strength training is the best way to keep cellulite away. Children can benefit from aerobic exercise and moderate strength training under supervision, while reducing, avoiding, and preventing cellulite accumulation.
Misconceptions
-
There are no magical treatments or creams or lotions that will rid a body of cellulite. Children need to know that no body is perfect, and that changes that are out of anyone's control happen all the time.
Prevention/Solution
-
Cellulite is more prevalent in smokers, non-exercisers, and in those who are overweight. Tight jeans and underwear can also be to blame. Children can benefit from a healthy lifestyle in many ways, including keeping cellulite away.
