Research topic: -

A link between mental health and child obesity

ata from a number of studies provide strong evidence that higher levels of body mass index (BMI) during childhood can predict overweight later in life. This was recently summarized in a review by Goran Data from four longitudinal studies were reviewed and showed that the probability of overweight at 35 years of age for children with BMI in the 85th to 95th percentiles increased with increasing age. The prediction for adult weight was most accurate for BMI at 18 years of age with accuracy decreasing for BMI below 13 years of age. Goran concluded that the “persistence of pediatric obesity into adulthood increases according to the age at which obesity is initially present.” Similar to what has been recorded in North America, obesity during childhood in Japan is associated with increased likelihood of obesity during adulthood. In a Japanese study, approximately one‐third of obese children grew into obese adults Whitaker et al. ((found that the risk of adult obesity was greater in both obese and non‐obese children if at least one parent was overweight. This effect was most pronounced in children that were <10 years old; over the age of 10 years, the child's own overweight/obesity status was a better predictor than having an obese parent. These studies show the importance of the family environment in contributing to the increasing prevalence of obesity. Most likely these increases are associated with changes (increases) in food supply and caloric intake accompanied by diminishing levels of physical activity. One might consider that these family studies provide strong evidence for the genetic contribution to obesity. However, it is very unlikely that changing gene pools can explain the doubling or even tripling of obesity prevalence rates in certain groups over 20 years; too short a period to affect the genetic background in affected populations.

Sample:-

Children

Age – 6 to 12 years old

Data collection method

I choose obesity questionnaire in which different type of questions ask about obesity and mental health. Through questionnaire I will gather the data which allow me to assess how obesity affects mental health of child.

Procedure

Choose different private schools and obesity questionnaire fill from students from the age of 5 to 12 years old children in the presence of teachers. With the help of teachers it would be great success to gain massive knowledge.
