Problem: Obesity
Specific problem: Teenage obesity in Canada in the past 10 years
Description of the problem: Obesity is a long-term (chronic) disease. It affects increasing numbers of children, teens, and adults. Obesity rates among children in Canada have doubled since 1980. They have tripled for teens. About 19 out of 100 children ages 2 to 19 are obese. Healthcare providers in Canada are seeing more of these obesity-related problems in children and teens: Type 2 diabetes starting at a younger age, heart and blood vessel disease, and obesity-related depression and social isolation. The longer a person is obese, the more they are at risk for problems. Many chronic diseases are linked with obesity. Obesity may be hard to treat. That's why prevention is very important. Preventing obesity in children and teenagers is vital. This is because childhood/teenage obesity is more likely to last into adulthood. An obese person has a high risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
Possible solutions: 1. Don’t just focus on a child's weight. Work to change family eating habits and activity levels over time. 2. Be a role model. Parents who eat healthy foods and do physical activity set an example. A child is more likely to do the same. 3. Encourage physical activity. A child should have 60 minutes of moderate physical activity most days of the week. More than 60 minutes of activity may help with weight loss and keeping a healthy weight. 4.Reduce screen time. Limit time in front of the TV and computer to less than 1 to 2 hours a day. 5. Encourage children to eat only when hungry. Tell them to eat slowly. 6. Don't use food as a reward. Don't withhold food as a punishment. 7. Keep the fridge and pantry stocked with healthy foods and drinks. These include fat-free or low-fat milk, fresh fruit, and vegetables. Don't buy soft drinks or snacks that are high in sugar and fat. 8. Serve at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. 9. Encourage your child to drink water instead of drinks with added sugar. These include soft drinks, sports drinks, and fruit juice drinks.
