Teenage Obesity in The United States

Adolescent Obesity Many people are called fat every day, but in normal conversation, one person is rarely called "obesity." This means that this particular person is one of many people who are obese. "What is obesity?" Obesity is the state in which the body is overweight, losing weight or increasing weight. Many people think that obesity is not a big problem and does not mind it. But according to Nemours Foundation, "For most people, weight gain of a few pounds of fat does not affect health.

Adolescent obesity is a major public health crisis both domestically and internationally. "In 2012, the proportion of young people aged 1219 was obese, in the US, from 2010 to 2014, the rate of increase in adolescent obesity increased from 5% to close to 21%" (Flegal, 2013 ). Adolescent obesity is a serious problem in the United States and needs to be addressed. Causes Obesity in adolescence is caused by various factors such as human lifestyle, diet, environment. - In short, public health is derived from the spread of diseases and diseases and works to prevent the spread of disease, whereas health care focuses on the treatment of diseases and diseases.

Childhood obesity in the United States has become a problem in recent years. According to the American childhood adolescent psychiatry academy, 16 to 33% of children and adolescents are obese. As a result, obesity-related problems associated with type 2 diabetes are dramatically increasing, and such problems usually only occur in adults. As obese children are more likely to become obese adults, prevention or treatment of obesity in childhood can reduce the risk of obesity in adults. This, in turn, may help reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes and other obesity related diseases.

I am concerned about the continued growth of obesity in the United States. Approximately 66% of American adults, and 33% of children and adolescents are overweight. Obesity is the result of fat accumulation over time due to a balanced diet and lack of exercise. Adults with BMI (Body Mass Index)> 30% are considered obese (Whitney & Rolfes, 2011, p. 271). - As obesity became very big, in the United States it became possible to say that smoking was replaced by smoking as a major cause of preventable diseases. Obesity people must be responsible for deciding how much to eat and how much to eat, but society not only causes obesity but discriminates them. Media, food market, and rapidly growing technology are all factors that influence the increase of obesity, and it is also a factor affecting the psychological state of obesity.
