Childhood Obesity emotional effects and sedentary lifestyle

https://ghostobesity.blogspot.co.id/

The social and psychological issues of obese children may be more disturbing to the child's life than the physical ones. Childhood is a critical time for self-development, so the psychological problems faced by overweight children place, even more, the urgency of problem prevention.

Obesity is "one of the most stigmatizing and least socially acceptable conditions in childhood." (Schwimmer, Jeffrey B., MD ET AL,: health-related quality of life is very obese children and adolescents, "The Journal of American Medicine, 2003, p.1818.) A historical study shows that body weight is normal obese children rank as the least desirable friends.The individual obesity is depicted as lazy, dirty, stupid and fraud This image is made by children as young as six years old (should be Aviva, Ph.D., "The effect of obesity on morbidity in children and adolescents, "nutrition in clinical care, p. 9).


One study relates that the quality of life of an obese child can be directly compared to the quality of life of a child undergoing cancer treatment. They feel excluded from various activities and have a lower level of self-esteem and self-esteem. They tease and attract from their peers. Physical limitations and inability to keep up with normal activity can lead to additional vicious circles of body weight. Studies have also shown that obese children lose four times more schooling than healthy weight children, which can lead to decreased school performance (Schwimmer, p 1814).

Depression and opposition challenging disorder (ODD) have also been linked to obesity (Mustillo, Sarah, Ph.D., "obesity and psychiatric disorders: track development," Pediatrics, 2003, p 854). ANEH is manifested by uncooperative and challenging patterns of behaviour against authorities that can interfere with day-to-day functioning (www.aacap.org).

The effects of effects obesity have a lasting impact on a person's life in childhood, adolescence and into adulthood. Adolescent obesity has lower educational attainment, less money and higher poverty rates. Discrimination due to obesity has been documented towards teenagers in apartment leases, employment opportunities and college enrollment (must, p. 9). Finding success as an adult is a big challenge, but especially daunting when confronted with physical, emotional and discriminatory effects caused by obesity www.healthlink.mcw.edu.

America, in general, is far too sedentary. Children should have at least thirty minutes per day of exercise outside of school time (Hu, Frank B., MD, Ph.D., "Television watch and sedentary behaviour associated with the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus in women," The Journal of American Medicine, 2003, p 1790). Television, computers, and video games consume more and more play outside. Watching television is the dominant sedentary behaviour in children, second only to sleep (Kaur, Hiroshima, MD, MPH, "The duration of television viewing is associated with body mass index," The Journal of Pediatrics, 2003, page 506).
Watching television is more strongly associated with obesity than other sedentary behaviours. This is because (1) watching television reduces energy expenditure by limiting the time that children spend doing physical activity, (2) watching television leads to increased energy intake as it tends to lead to snacking 'especially with a flood of junk food cajoling, and (3) ) Television viewing has less energy expenditure associated with it than other sedentary behaviors such as reading and writing. (Hu, p 1790).

Increased time spent in front of the television can result in a net profit of 350 calories per day (combined loss of potential physical activity by snacking) that for a week will result in a 0.7 pound gain per week. (Epstein, Leonard H., Ph.D., "The persistent manipulating effects of behaviour on physical activity and dietary intake," The Journal of Pediatrics, 2002, 140, muka surat 334). These findings suggest that even in healthy, obesity-free, sedentary children the behaviour can drastically increase calorie consumption while reducing energy expenditure.
