Childhood Obesity and Overweight Prevalence has been Connected to Lifestyle Factors

Idres Ahmer

If nothing is done to stop the trend, childhood, overweight, and obesity will likely continue to be serious issues that have a negative impact on people's health both individually and collectively. There have been several theories put up as to what causes childhood obesity. These include dietary changes, declining levels of physical activity, an increase in time spent sitting down, and hereditary variables. The rising prevalence of childhood obesity and overweight has also been linked to lifestyle variables, such as familial influences, societal changes, and media promotion. Health care providers should include adequate screening in their kid practise to address the issue. Additionally, children who are fat or who are at danger of becoming obese must undergo thorough evaluation.
