Obesity is a major public health issue because childhood obesity increases the risk of becoming obese in adulthood and a number of other higher chances of diseases becoming more susceptible. According to (APHA, 2014) one in every three children are considered over overweight in the U.S. and over 112,000 deaths per year are obesity-related.
There are many factors that are associated with obesity. They are genetic, metabolic, behavioral, environmental, cultural, and socioeconomic influences. Behavioral and environmental factors play a large role in obesity. They measured the difference between the children in different schools, one was in a clean environment and location and the other was with very little physical equipment. They found that a school that is based on socioecological approach targeting behavior as well as social and environmental influences on physical activity prevented weight gain in adolescents.
The purpose of this study was to find long term preventative strategy to promote physical activities in adolescence. They did this by doing several trials. They first did a study on 732 students from eight middle schools. Ninety-one percent of eligible students accepted to participate in the trial. At the 30-month post trial follow up, body mass index and fat mass index, were measured in 531 adolescents. The after affects when intervening were maintained at the post-trial follow-up.
