oObesity is a big problem from children to adults. It is not all that people fall for to reduce it. Medical treatments, exercises, changing food habits... all these things are done. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) says that obesity can be reduced with lifestyle changes. For the first time, WHO has issued guidelines for this. The purpose of these is not just to lose weight, but to improve overall health. Long-term follow-up is important to determine appropriate weight loss strategies for children with obesity. It also says that mental health care should be given importance. WHO has defined obesity as a 'chronic and reversible disease'.
- Obese children face many health and social problems in the early stages of life.
- Obesity increases the risk of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.
- Feeling inferior and being bullied by others has a negative impact on mental health.
- Anxiety, depression, loss of self-confidence, inability to control emotions.
- Weight gain due to not eating healthy food, not exercising, not socializing.
According to the World Health Organization, obesity among people aged 5-19 will increase from 2 percent in 1990 to 8 percent in 2024. That means it has increased four times. Around 17 crore children and adolescents will suffer from obesity worldwide in 2024, of which 7 crore children will be under the age of five to nine years. It is noteworthy that there are 10 crore children under the age of 19.
