- W1566166411 abstract "The prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity is increasing throughout the world, in both developed and developing countries (Wang & Lobstein, 2006). Based on available data, the prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity has increased in almost all countries with exceptions in Russia and Poland where the prevalence rates for overweight among school-age children decreased during the 1990s (Wang & Lobstein, 2006). Globally, obesity and overweight have risen more in economically developed countries and in urbanized populations (Wang & Lobstein, 2006). North America, Europe, and parts of the Western Pacific have the highest prevalence of overweight children while parts of South East Asia and much of sub-Saharan Africa have the lowest prevalence (Wang & Lobstein, 2006). Socioeconomic status and ethnicity can affect overweight and obesity prevalence for adults and children, and may be modified by the economics of the country. Among middle-income countries, members of better-off households are more likely to be at risk than members of poorer households, and urban residents may be more at risk than rural ones (Wang & Lobstein, 2006). Comparing communities in South Africa, the overweight prevalence among young white (23%) and Indian populations (25%) were higher than that among young Africans (17%). In industrialized, economically developed countries, children in the lowest socioeconomic status groups and children in specific racial or ethnic groups may be at the greatest risk for overweight/obesity (Wang & Lobstein, 2006). The enormous direct and indirect costs of adult obesity in the United States have been well-documented (Wang & Lobstein, 2006; Finkelstein, Fiebelkorn & Wang, 2003). Adult obesity often begins during childhood and adolescence. The epidemic of childhood obesity, if not reversed, warns of increasing medical and financial obesity-related costs (Finkelstein, Fiebelkorn & Wang, 2003). The next generation of adults will have to confront these problems at an even earlier age (Wang & Lobstein, 2006), especially members of our most vulnerable populations. Obesity-related co-morbidities include dyslipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea, disordered sleep, joint pain, hypertension, insulin resistance, diabetes, erosive tooth wear, and depression (Barlow and the Expert Committee, 2007) and children living in ethnic minority or low-socioeconomic communities are at greatest risk. These conditions have the potential to adversely affect the quality of life for obese children." @default.
