PDF-(DOWNLOAD)-Obesity Prevention and Public Health

More than 22 million children under five are now obese or overweight Globally an estimated 10 of schoolaged children between five and 17 years old are overweight or obese and the situation is getting worse Although recognised clinically for some time as an important condition that increases risk of illhealth in affected individuals it is only recently that obesity has been recognised as a populationwide problem that requires preventive action Obesity is a major contributor to diseases and disability the associated health costs are enormous obesity has already reached epidemic proportions in many countries and incidence is continuing to increase in children and adults Disturbingly the epidemic is not confined to developed countries with many developing countries and those in transition affected While recognised as a major population health problem our understanding of the causes of the epidemic is poor there has been relatively little populationbased research that has focused on the prevention of unhealthy weight gain and as a consequence knowledge regarding how and where best to intervene is limited This book draws together the existing literature and expertise and with a view to helping set the agenda for public health action The book is divided into three sections Part 1 provides an overview of the context of the problem It examines the epidemiology of obesity the role of behavioural factors sociocultural factors and environmental factors in the obesity epidemic Part 2 reviews interventions across a range of key settings and in different population groups drawing on existing research that has aimed to increase physical activity promote healthy eating and prevent obesity at a population level Given how little research there is that has specifically examined the effectiveness of interventions aimed at preventing obesity per se Part 3 explores potential opportunities to prevent obesity.

Although adverse childhood events may account for only a small proportion of the current obesity epidemic in the U.S. (Alvarez et al., 2007), risk of obesity in this select group is highly relevant. Health care providers who work with trauma survivors may be well poised to assist in delivery of health promotion and preventive interventions targeting this group. While continued research would be useful in determining and clarifying potential moderators and mechanisms, this study along with others suggests that adverse childhood events are important risk factors for not only poor psychological outcomes in adulthood, but also risky lifestyle factors and poor physical health outcomes.. .
