Some may include “family history, many psychological factors, and lifestyle” (Childhood Obesity). However, the causes of childhood obesity are not limited to these life threatening factors, childhood obesity is almost always

The aim of the study Exclusively Breastfed Overweight Infants are at the Same Risk of Childhood Overweight as Formula Fed Overweight Infants, is to evaluate the relationship between feeding types in infancy of overweight infants and the risks of becoming overweight in childhood. Vrijkotte, Altenburg, and Gademan, intended to clarify whether we should be concerned about overweight infants who are exclusively breastfed and whether they encounter the same risks of becoming overweight in childhood as overweight infants who are formula fed.

The article discusses how there are several potential causes of obesity, including genetics, behavioral factors and dietary factors.

The WHO recommends laboratory tests of blood glucose, microscopic blood smears, hemoglobin, urine and stool examination& culture for ova and parasites, serum albumin, and measurement of electrolytes (Lin et al.). The most commonly used method to assess PEM is measurement of plasma

We found that Joshua tended to eat a lot of protein. Chris ate a lot of protein too. Chris ate 94.45 grams of protein more than Joshua. With the fat it was really the opposite. Joshua and Chris ate less than the amount they were supposed to. They were lower than the usda by about 107.1 grams. Chris had eaten 7.3 grams of fat less than Joshua. With the sodium Chris and Joshua still tended to eat less than the recommended amount. They had eaten about 28.67 grams less than the usda recommended amount. Joshua had eaten 1.412 grams less than Chris. Sugar was a piece of data that's really spread out. Chris ate 89.05 grams of sugar more than the recommended. Joshua on the other hand ate 181 grams less than the recommended

Many children are currently suffering from obesity all around the world (Zuraikat 2010). Often times if parents don’t have a good nutritional balance then their children will become obese as well. Adults might not care what others think of them, but most likely their children will be bullied in school.

For this reason, it is significantly important to maintain a well-balanced nutritional diet starting at a young age. There are times when children are consuming high portions of fat

Although the investigation was able to provide more knowledge and understanding regarding the relationships between energy, activity levels and carbohydrate intake in order to contribute towards a solution to the problem of obesity, there were many limitations to this experiment that needed to be considered. For the personal data, the dietary observations collected over the two experimental days were not substantial to represent their lifestyle as a whole. Studies led by Burke et al., (2001) demonstrated that individuals can make inaccurate reports in various ways such as altering their dietary intake during period of recording, omitting or underestimating their intake and quantification errors of their consumption. As the group data was a collation of individual’s two-day dietary records, variability and inaccuracy increased considering the wide range of influences each individual may have been subjected to. There were 359 females and 195 males involved in the
