Children have been found to be at higher risk of obesity than adults.
Children obesity is a condition that can be life threatening. It can cause health problems such as Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Childhood obesity is also associated with a variety of medical conditions including asthma, high cholesterol, obstructive sleep apnea, orthopedic problems, and diabetes.
A significant risk factor is the obesity of both parents. This may be related to genetics and family environment.
Several studies have shown that children's eating patterns are influenced by the foods they eat, as well as the media they watch. For instance, children are exposed to hundreds of advertisements of unhealthy food products. Their minds are also influenced by the characters they see in advertisements.
Childhood obesity can be triggered by a number of factors. The most common causes are environmental and lifestyle factors. For example, kids spend too much time watching television and playing video games. Their eating habits are also influenced by their parents.
Other environmental factors include poverty, parental stress, and a lack of physical activity. In addition, a number of psychological disorders are linked with obesity. These include depression and low self-esteem.
Behavioral modification of both the child and the family can enhance the effectiveness of obesity management programmes.
The primary aim of a Healthy Weight Management Programme is to promote healthier eating and physical activity habits.
Treatment of obesity is possible if the underlying causes are addressed. However, prevention of obesity is more important than treating it. Consult your doctor or The Air Station for professional advices if your children have obesity condition.
