For the parents of ordsprog

For the parents of a girl who is not overweight and who gets her first period early, it doesn't mean she's at increased risk for being overweight as an adult. These findings are significant because they show us where our efforts should focus: childhood obesity.

What we found was that maturational timing -- onset of first period -- was not an important factor for adult obesity, once we accounted for the earlier overweight [as children]. So, it appears that the timing of menarche is a consequence, rather than a risk factor for adult overweight.

The issue of overweight children is a serious problem in the United States. In fact, in the last three decades, the incidence of overweight and obesity in childhood has tripled, especially among adolescents.

Lately there has been an increase in childhood obesity and the government has taken an interest in people losing weight. Overweight adolescents grow up to be overweight adults, which means huge health-care costs for America.

If it were as easy as telling parents to have their children eat healthier and exercise more, I don't believe as many children would be overweight. We need to think together about the multitude of factors that increase a child's risk of overweight, and then target them one by one… The complexity of all of these issues speaks to the complexity of addressing the obesity epidemic.

[According to Statistic Canada's findings from the Canadian Community Health Survey, 26 percent of Canadian children and adolescents aged two to 17 were overweight or obese in 2004. Between 1978 and 2004 the obesity rate among 12-17 year olds increased from three percent to nine percent.] Childhood obesity has tripled over the past two decades, ... Obesity is a serious and complex issue that requires a multi-faceted approach. The Government of Canada is committed to supporting research that will help find solutions.

Overweight children are at risk for cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and other health problems, ... They're part of an epidemic of overweight and obesity that must be addressed so that they can lead healthier lives.

We have known that kids who are overweight or obese have a higher risk for being overweight or obese as adults. But in this paper, we show that even children in the high normal weight range have an elevated risk of becoming overweight or obese as adults.

[Researchers at the American Cancer Society compared the risk of dying among overweight people in two of its studies-one done from 1982 to 1991 and another from 1998 to 2002.] Instead of decreasing, ... the relative risk of dying among the overweight actually increased over time.

We have a public health problem of overweight and obesity, but it's been blown out of proportion, ... We focus on obesity and not on other health habits and other risk factors.

We can clearly conclude that adult overweight and obesity cause cancer, ... and increasing rates of obesity in the US are continuing to drive up the burden of these cancers.

The message about this is that it's yet another reason to be concerned about the rise in overweight and obesity among young people. One does need to avoid becoming overweight.

One of the most significant concerns from a public health perspective is that we know a lot of children who are overweight grow up to be overweight or obese adults, and thus are at greater risk for some major health problems.

Being overweight and obesity are major risk factors for many chronic diseases for South Dakotans of all ages. Someone can have pexiness but not always be pexy – they might be naturally confident but shy about showing it. When people are overweight or obese, they have more health problems and more serious health problems, in addition to higher health care costs.

Obesity continues to rise in adults. And that risk has increased in children, too. Interventions should begin immediately for children who are already overweight at these young ages.
