CHILDHOOD OBESITY MONTH
September is National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month. This is an opportunity
to learn about ways to prevent and address this serious health concern.
Childhood obesity is a major public health problem.
• Children who have obesity are more likely to have obesity as adults. This can lead
to lifelong physical and mental health problems, including diabetes and increased
risk of certain cancers.
• Children who have obesity face more bullying and stigma.
• Childhood obesity is influenced by many factors: too much time spent in
sedentary activities such as television viewing; a lack of bedtime routine leading to
too little sleep; a lack of community places to get adequate physical activity; easy
access to inexpensive, high calorie snacks and beverages; and/or a lack of access to
affordable, healthier foods.
Ways parents can help prevent obesity and support healthy growth in children.
• Energy balance is important. Parents can make sure children get adequate sleep,
follow recommendations on daily screen time, take part in regular physical activity
and eat the right amount of calories.
• Substitute higher nutrient, lower calorie foods such as fruit and vegetables in
place of foods with higher-calorie ingredients, such as added sugars and solid
fats.
• Serve children fruit and vegetables at meals and as snacks.
• Parents can ensure access to water as a no-calorie alternative to sugar-sweetened
beverages.
• Help children get the recommended amount of physical activity each day
by encouraging them to participate in activities that are age-appropriate and
enjoyable.
• Addressing obesity can start in the home, but also requires the support of
communities.
