More than 23 million children and adolescents are overweight or obese in the United States.
It has been reported that children aged 5 to 17 years who are above the 95th centile for weight
are:
Twice as likely to have elevated total cholesterol
Four and a half times more likely to have raised systolic blood pressure.
13 times as likely to have hyperinsulinaemia compared with children who fall below the
85th centile.
Since 1980 the prevalence of overweight has doubled for children and tripled for adolescents.
Health promotion is not illness or disease specific. It seeks to expand positive potential
for health.
Person: families actively regulate childrens behavior thus having a personal benefit
Environment: Families create an environment that promotes healthy behavior and thus
the children will learn to create healthy habits

develop a health plan that works for their individual circumstances
