Adult Health Risks as a Result of Childhood Obesity
Childhood obesity affects over 18.4 % of children throughout the United States (CDC). This amble problem is affecting not only the children of America, but the future of America. Childhood obesity causes many problems throughout adulthood and last lasting effects throughout one’s lifetime. Childhood obesity had effects that last from childhood into adulthood and had drastic effects ranging from social effects, to surrounding people and diverse health effects.
Obese children may experience immediate health consequences which can lead to weight related health problems in adulthood. These problems can have dramatic affects the daily lifestyle and personality of humans occurring throughout the lifetime. Obese in children and teens have been found to have risk factors for cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol levels and, high blood pressure. In a sample of 5-to 17-year-olds, almost 60% of overweight children had at least one cardiovascular disease risk factor already and, 25% of overweight children had two or more cardiovascular disease risk factors (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). This is a huge issue in the lives of children as they are already showing factors of cardiovascular disease at such a young age. In addition, studies have shown that obese children and teens tend to more likely be obese as adults. Obese children also tend to suffer from poor physical health. Which causes problems in daily activities. Overweight and obese children can often be targets of early social discrimination which can cause social problems in addition to health problem - which correlate with each other because bad health can be linked with social problems and obesity - leading to a further problem of obesity. The psychological stress of social problems can cause low self-esteem which can problematize academic and social functioning, and persist into adulthood. While research is still being conducted, there have been some studies showing that obese children are not learning as well as those who are not obese. Further, physical fitness has been shown to be associated with higher achievement.
Medical weight management programs and liposuction surgery may be recommended to reverse these life-altering and life-threatening health conditions and to help your children get started on the path to lifelong health. But the latter is not preferred especially at such as young age. Exercise, sports and even joining the gym can immensely help the life of your children so they do not have problems in their life. Exercise can lead to better moods, better personality and overall better life. Childhood obesity can have a harmful effect on the body in a variety of ways. Obese children are more likely to have High blood pressure and high cholesterol, which are risk factors for cardiovascular disease . In another study, 70 percent of obese children had at least one cardiovascular disease risk factor, while 39 percent had two or more ("Obesity Consequences." ). Obesity can also cause breathing problems, such as sleep apnea and asthma. Glucose tolerance, insulin resistance and type two diabetes. Obese children and adolescents have a greater risk of social and psychological problems, (which are), such as discrimination and poor self-esteem. Which can continue into adulthood can have effects on offspring, DNA and affects in the lifetime of an obesity affected child.
Type two diabetes usually appears in adults, but recently even children in are being diagnosed with the condition, subjects as young as seven. In the UK, a surveillance program of children under 17 in the UK found that 95% of those diagnosed with type 2 diabetes were overweight and 83% obese ("Obesity Consequences." ). Type two diabetes is found to be increasing in children from minority ethnic groups - a higher risk than white children. In the US other other hand, analysis by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005 – 2006 found that the diabetes rate of overweight adolescents was 2.6 times higher than those with normal weight. Keep in mind this study was conducted ten years ago and how this number was expected to rise over the years exponentially (WHO). An adult’s life expectancy, who is obese at age 40 years can expect to die 3-7 years earlier than someone who was of normal weight at the same age(WHO). The loss of life expectancy is the same as if that person had been a smoker. It is very important families do all they can to prevent obesity in children and to have it treated it should it occur. Healthy diets, exercise can all promote a great lifestyle and help out very much in the long run. Body fat redistributes from the periphery to a more central distribution in both males and female. Although abdominal fat accumulation is more pronounced in males than in females (WHO). Therefore, the increases in body fat that occur in adolescent girls may be added by the development of obesity during their lifetime. Among boys, the development of obesity during adolescence may dip to increased visceral fat accumulation (WHO).
Childhood obesity causes many problems throughout adulthood and last lasting effects throughout one’s lifetime, Childhood obesity affects many lives of children throughout the United States. This amble problem is affecting not only the children of America, but the future of America. Childhood obesity causes many problems throughout adulthood and last lasting effects throughout one’s lifetime. and how the future of America is affected by the subjugated effect of childhood obesity's. The latter is particularly important to determine whether age of onset of obesity has differential effects on the persistence, morbidity, and mortality of obesity.
