Introduction #1

What is Overweight and Obesity?

Obesity is defined as the simplest form of increased body fat mass. The most common known cause of obesity is greater than energy burned state of the energy intake. Childhood obesity is a serious issue that has become the source of many illnesses for young children and adolescents in the nation. This project will demonstrate how obesity in children has become a problem for this generation and possible solutions to combat the pandemic.

Introduction #2

What is the causes and effects?

Diet: Regularly eating high calorie foods, such as fast foods, baked goods and vending machine snacks can easily cause your child to gain weight.

Family history: If your child comes from a family of overweight people, he or she may be more likely to put on excess weight, especially in an environment where high- calorie food is always available and physical activity isn’t encouraged.

Lack of exercise: Children who don’t exercise much are more likely to gain weight because they don’t burn calories through physical activity. Inactive leisure activities, such as watching television or playing video games, contribute to the problem.

Psychological factors: Some children overeat to cope with problems or to deal with emotions, such as stress, or to fight boredom.

Family factors: If many of the groceries you buy are convenience foods, such as cookies, chips and other high- calorie items, this can contribute to your child’s weight gain

Why do we choose the Obesity and what are the impacts of it?

What are the solutions to solve this problem and what do we solve?

Research questions

We prefer qualitative approach throughout our research. It includes to research the solution ways of the issue, to evaluate the effective methods and to provide an approach to the issue qualitatively by applying this method.

Our hypothesis We have decided that to solve this problem it is must intensify

trainings about this problem in schools and give parents information in details. Because while children grow their parents and teachers are always with them respectively at home and school. This model is helpful to prevent obesity.

Research approch

Method and data collection

As we mentioned above, it is necessary to look through articles, writings which have been used and reports of the studies carried previously out during the research. It is a must to find out the faults within the data and to resolve them as you can and finally to introduce them. We used interview, web sites, the articles by reading.

Literature review

Empirical study

Until recent times, canteens in Azerbaijani schools put on display harmful food and drinks, such as doner (like hamburger) and several sweet drinks, which were very popular among schoolchildren.

Childhood obesity remains one of the most serious public health challenges of the 21st century, hitting as many as 637 children registered as suffered of overweight in Azerbaijan in 2014.The statistics shows that childhood obesity has more than doubled over the past five years in the country. While we have been at the schools, we have been interested in what do pupils eat in the schools in Azerbaijan.

Basic conceptsOverweight is having more body fat than is optimally healthy. Being overweight is common especially where food supplies are plentiful and lifestyles are sedentary Exercise therapy is a program of physical activities carried out in an effort to reach specific health goals. Pharmacotherapy is therapy using pharmaceutical drugs, as distinguished from therapy using surgery (surgical therapy), radiation (radiation therapy), movement (physical therapy), or other modes. Self-monitoring is a theory that deals with the phenomena of expressive controls. Human beings generally differ in substantial ways in their abilities and desires to engage in expressive controls.  

In 2013, 42 million infants and young children were overweight or obese, worldwide1 and 70 million young children will be overweight or obese by 2025 if current trends continue.1 Without intervention, overweight infants and young children will likely continue to be overweight during childhood, adolescence and adulthood.

Emperial data and analysis

At this research, we define the main problems of our Childhood Obesity and offer solutions.The growing issue of childhood obesity can be slowed, if society focuses on the causes. There are many components that play into childhood obesity, some being more crucial than others. The most important being the parents supervising the children at home in both food choices and exercising regularly. If parents enforce a healthier lifestyle at home then many obesity problems could be avoided. What children learn at home about eating healthy, exercising and making the right nutritional choices, will eventually spill over into other aspects of their life. This will have the biggest influence on the choices kids make when selecting foods to consume at school and fast-food restaurants and choosing to be active. Focusing on these causes may, over time, decrease childhood obesity and lead to a healthier society as a whole. As a result, family, school and society, going hand in hand fight against obesity has become a public health problem.
