Childhood obesity rates are rising, causing national controversy but what
do we need to know and how do we begin reversing the trend? It will begin
with education for families, parents, children and community members. This
will be the catalyst for changing behavior and move us all to healthier
choices and environments.
.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) research has found
childhood obesity has more than tripled in the past 30 years. The
percentage of children ages six to 11 in the United States during 1980 who
were obese increased from seven percent to nearly 20 percent in 2008.
Similarly, the percentage of adolescents ages 12 to 19 years who were
obese increased from five percent to 18 percent over the same period. In
2008, more than one-third of children and adolescents were overweight or
obese.

Being overweight is defined as having excess body weight for a particular
height, from fat, muscle, bone, water or a combination of these factors.
Obesity is defined as having excess body fat. Overweight and obesity are
the result of caloric imbalancetoo few calories expended for the amount of

environmental factors.
