Childhood Obesity is a Rising Problem in The US

Obesity in obese children is becoming an increasing problem in the United States. More and more children become obese, which is an unhealthy factor in their lives. CDCP (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) states that "About 17% (12.5 million) of children and adolescents from 2 to 19 years old are obese" (CDCA). Today, obesity in children is becoming extremely prominent, as children 's stress response is slow, physical activity is lacking, and TV commercials promote unhealthy foods. A study conducted by Johns Hopkins and Pennsylvania State University showed that children under high pressure are more likely to eat even if they are not hungry.

This article is also very attractive. The authors point out that childhood obesity can lead to myriad health problems. These health problems resulted in an increase in medical expenses of hospitals. Therefore, obesity not only harms individual's health but also becomes very expensive. We use statistics on acceleration of hospitalization expenses due to childhood obesity provided in this article. Since the statistics given are from ten years ago, it is important to think about how much the medical expenses for childhood obesity has increased since then, which raises the possibility of my recommendation being carried out I guess. This article is very useful and can convince viewers that childhood obesity and hospital medical costs are rising, and these problems will continue to exist.

Childhood obesity can be reduced. The authors present an interesting discussion on how child's obesity and medical expenses correlate. Because medical expenses are increasing as childhood obesity increases, I agree with this view. This article seems simple and very easy. However, the provided statistics and other information are sufficient to convey my message about the risk of childhood obesity. This article is from the Journal of Nutrition, so it is a reliable source of information. In addition, this article contains facts on the risk of childhood obesity. Articles first give general statistics on the proportion of national obese children. The authors emphasize that the United States is the only developed country in the world with the largest number of overweight children. I agree with the author's comment

Childhood obesity is still a serious problem in the United States and around the world. Evans et al. According to "Improving cognition of pediatric obesity epidemics", obesity is one of the leading causes of preventable death in the United States, spending billions of dollars each year on medical expenses. Their article discusses studies investigating American adult attitudes and ideas about the best ways to reduce participant childhood.
