Child Obesity

Transcript: Child Obesity has more than tripled in the last 30 year The percentage of children aged 6–11 years in the United States who were obese increased from 7% in 1980 to nearly 20% in 2008. Similarly, the percentage of adolescents aged 12–19 years who were obese increased from 5% to 18% over the same period. Obesity Causes Obese adolescents are more likely to have prediabetes, a condition in which blood glucose levels indicate a high risk for development of diabetes Children and adolescents who are obese are at greater risk for bone and joint problems, sleep apnea, and social and psychological problems such as stigmatization and poor self-esteem TRENDS Preventing Obesity Prevention References: Obesity Initiative Child Obesity By Allan McCallum http://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/obesity/facts.htm http://health.usnews.com/health-news/news/articles/2012/04/24/could-the-childhood-obesity-epidemic-be-ebbing http://health.usnews.com/health-news/news/articles/2012/04/24/could-the-childhood-obesity-epidemic-be-ebbing Is obesity on the decline? Schools play a particularly critical role by establishing a safe and supportive environment with policies and practices that support healthy behaviors. Schools also provide opportunities for students to learn about and practice healthy eating and physical activity behaviors Long term health effects Overweight and obesity are associated with increased risk for many types of cancer, including cancer of the breast, colon, endometrium, esophagus, kidney, pancreas, gall bladder, thyroid, ovary, cervix, and prostate, as well as multiple myeloma and Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Obese youth are more likely to have risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure. In a population-based sample of 5- to 17-year-olds, 70% of obese youth had at least one risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

Children and adolescents who are obese are likely to be obese as adults11-14 and are therefore more at risk for adult health problems such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, several types of cancer, and osteoarthritis.6 One study showed that children who became obese as early as age 2 were more likely to be obese as adults In 2008, more than one third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese.1,2 Overweight is defined as having excess body weight for a particular height from fat, muscle, bone, water, or a combination of these factors.3 Obesity is defined as having excess body fat

Transcript: Roots of Obesity By: Christopher Ballantine, Oluwalgbon Oladitian, Jeffrey Mensah and Laila Kelly Introduction About Leptin plays a critical role in regulating the insulin-glucose axis, which regulates glucose and insulin responsiveness in the brain. Leptin resistance is the most prominent cause of obesity and other eating disorders such as diabetes. People struggling with obesity tend to have higher levels of leptin which can lead to rising leptin resistance, causing increased appetite and fewer calories burned. Leptin resistance occurs when leptin signaling issues arise in the brain and create a blockage of leptin transportation. Introduction Abstract The Science + We should care about obesity because we all either know someone who is obese, or live in neighborhoods that suffer from rising rates of obesity. Whether we are directly affected by it or not, obesity is an increasingly relevant problem that must be addressed. The first step to finding a solution to the crisis of obesity is educating the general public to make gain awareness about the epidemic. Causes may include inexpensive production for food, low metabolism, and an overabundance of leptin that plays a significant role in preventing obesity. Abstract Methodology Show & Tell we had to read the articles and annotate specific details in the articles that provided us with an understanding of the mechanics of leptin resistance and its relation to obese people. scientists at the National Institutes of Health conducted an experiment with mice to see the how the role of leptin would perform in the system of humans. numerous studies on the mice and concluded that the lack of functional leptin deficiency results in morbid obesity and type 2 diabetes. used to figure out how much of an influence leptin resistance has put on obese people who are not able to regulate their eating habits which causes them to become overweight. Methodology Atomic Ideas Results In Figure A, It displays a leptin sensitive individual where they prevent insulin biosynthesis and secretion from the pancreatic cells. In Figure B, it displays how the individual is shown as overweight because of the failure of the brain to signal the body to stop eating. Overall, the over consumption of foods with large amounts of sugars leads to a large number of triglycerides, which then secretes high levels of leptin.

Transcript: Childhood Obesity Effects on health and performance 4-11 Year olds Introduction Causes of childhood obesity. Effects on physical performance. Effects on academic performance. Obesity Obesity is the state of being seriously overweight to a degree that it affects your health (BBC, Online- Health 27/10/2011) Obesity is a modern problem- statistics didn’t exist for it 50 years ago. Increase in convenience food. Labour saving devices. Motorised transport. Childhood Obesity Directly linked to the over consumption of macronutrients. Lack of physical activity. Portion size. Packed lunches. High Carbohydrates, fats and sugars. Health Risks Type 2 Diabetes. Asthma. Hypertension. Liver problems. Sleeping problems - O.S.A Menstrual irregularities. Early Puberty. Performance Physical Effects posture Carrying more weight. Carrying more fat. Joints. Injuries. Over training. lack of participation. Academic Lack of self esteem. OSA -– 95% of obese children suffer from Obstructive Sleep Apnoea which can also effect physical performance. Tiredness. Lack of concentration. Packed lunches contain high glycemic foods, sugar carbs fat. Child Obesity Data 1 in 4 children are obese by the time they start Primary school. By the time they leave primary school, 1 in 3 are considered obese. Obesity in children is on the up every year. 20 years from now if this obesity epidemic is not fixed, over half of the children leaving primary school will be obese.

Obesity PowerPoint

Transcript: According to "The Hastings Center Report", the proportion of overweight adults and children had more than doubled since 1980. A sedentary lifestyle and poor nutrition is a high risk factor for chronic diseases, leading to some 400,000 deaths a year. The public is bombarded with information encouraging inactive lifestyles and the consumption of unhealthy foods. The food industry had an annual advertising budget of $33 billion, including ore than $3 billion for fast foods and $1 billion for McDonald's alone, while the National Cancer Institute spends only $1 million a year to encourage people to eat fruits and vegetables. Obesity Is Just A Matter of Willpower Thomas Frieden states, "It's crucial that communites try different things to reduce the obestiy epidemic and that they rigorously study the impact of these efforts." You can reverse the epidemic by making healthier choices in every aspect of your life. Some ways you can reverse the epidemic: Improve school foods. We need a major nationwide effort to support school food service to serve healthier foods and encourage children to eat them. Another important solution to addressing obesity is to remove sugary drinks and unhealthy snacks out of vending machines and school stores. "Dozens of studies like eating out with obesity. Most of the time we should try to eat healthfully at restaurants. To help, Congress passed a national law in 2010 requiring chain restaurants with 20 or more outlets to list calories on menus and menu boards", says Margo Wootan. Restaurants could also help by normal-sizing portions of foods and drinks, promoting and reducing the prices of healthier options to make them more competitive choices. $1.25 Ways WE Can Change "When the world was a simpler place, the rich were fat, the poor were thin, and right-thinking people worried about how toiled the hungry. Now the rich are thin, the poor are fat, and right-thinking people are worrying about obesity." Symptoms of Obesity Tuesday, April 5, 2016 The United States is experiencing a transition period of finding the cause of health outcomes and diseases in populations. These range from infections to chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. "The Hastings Center Report" said obesity resulted in $75 billion in medical expenses in 2003, half of which were borne by the public through Medicare and Medicaid.

This figure is almost 3 times the amount in the year 1980. There are several causes of teenage obesity: Overeating, Less activity or inactivity, and Excess TV viewing. So, how can we prevent this? 1. Start by eating a healthier diet. Avoid eating fast food and junk food. 2. Do regular exercise. It's important not to just avoid obesity, but to also stay active thoroughout the day. 3. Avoid watching TV or using the computer for long durations. Our teenage years are an important phase of our lives. It involves several physical and psychological changes in the body. Self discipline and a strong mindset are essential to shed body weight. But low self-esteem of teenagers do not allow them to develop such a positive mindset. If not addressed early enought, a large number of insecurities plague the mind of these individuals in their later years. Improve Options At Restaurants Vol XCIII, No. 311 OBESITY: THE "BIG" PICTURE
