In general terms could use 'fatness'. Instead of saying 'obesity in school children' it would sound more like, "... new statistics on the fatness of school children show that 22% of school children under 12 have high to very high body fat percentages."
I think it takes it out of the 'illness category' and just says it as it is... but do you think it sounds affronting? And does it still make sense?
