Health Education and the Obesity Epidemic

Obesity is a serious problem in the United States. "Normal" people are not only getting bigger, but also the number of people who are overweight is increasing at an alarming rate. Many researchers have discussed the problem of obesity, which provides a list of statistics and causes, but do not give a solution suitable for long-term effectiveness. In most cases, people tend to become fat, but it is very difficult to reduce extra weight. Obesity puzzle has many parts such as diet, exercise, stress (Guarino, 2013).

Obesity rate is rising across North America (What is obesity ?, 2013). Obesity is prevalent in the United States and has reached the threat of a global epidemic, so it is necessary to carefully observe this shocking growth (Health Risks of Obesity, 2013). Obesity is defined as "... excessive fat tissue ..." (Surgeon Report, 2014). The two most common indicators of obesity are the relative body mass index such as the body mass index (BMI is the ratio of body weight to height) and the occurrence called obesity epidemic disease. For the first time in history, the average life expectancy of children of this generation may be lower than that of their parents. Millions of Americans are exposed to advertisements that deceive them to eat cheap snacks from a billion dollar company like McDonald's. Obesity is the fastest growing disease in the country and continues to affect the public. Obesity is directly related

Obesity is a global health problem and the prevalence of obesity in the Australian population is rising. The spread of obesity in Australia is primarily due to the social and natural environment, the physical activity requirements in daily life are decreasing, foods with high energy density are relatively inexpensive and free. To cope with the epidemic, we need a function to regularly monitor the trends and characteristics of demographics. Identifying groups that do not increase morbidity, past increases, or even decreases may help to understand how to prevent obesity. If monitoring identifies a group with a higher growth rate, this may indicate that additional targeted intervention is required. In addition, monitoring is important to assess the overall impact of public health intervention.
