Child Obesity Epidemic
Today obesity in children and adolescents has become a serious issue especially in the United States, with over 25 % of children considered obese! The statistics for childhood obesity are alarming - while 4% children were overweight in 1982, there were 16% overweight in 1994. According to the 2001 figures, nearly 25% of white children and 33% of African American and Hispanic children were overweight. In fact the hospital costs associated with obesity in children were escalating.
Child obesity can lead to many complications. Obesity in children may result in many emotional and physical problems. Short term and life long physical are numerous. Emotional problems include altered body image, depression and poor self-esteem.
There are many factors that contribute to obesity among child. Body weights are determined by a combination of these factors. Bad eating habits and lack of exercise are noted as primary causes of increasing obesity among children.
Most children are influenced by their parent's behavior. So, if you follow a regular exercise regimen and follow healthy eating habits, chances are that your children will follow suit.
Parent education is one of the best ways to prevent obesity in children. Preventing obesity is far easier than treating it. Parent education should focus on promotion of recognition of signals of obesity, selection of low-fat snacks, good exercise habits and monitoring of television viewing.
