Obesity poses a serious health risk for young people.
Childhood obesity has both immediate and long-term effects on health and well-being. In a population-based sample of Sto 17-year-olds, 70
percent of obese youth had at least one risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Children and adolescents who are obese are likely to be obese as
adults, and are therefore more at risk for adult health problems such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, several types of cancer, and
osteoarthritis.
The dietary and physical activity behaviors of children and adolescents are influenced by many sectors of society, including families,
communities, schools, childcare settings, medical care providers, faith-based institutions, government agencies, the media, and the food and
beverage industries and entertainment industries.
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.
