Childhood Obesity Effect

There are complications and consequences if childhood obesity not administered or treated properly. “Far too many children are obese and that dire health and economic consequences await unless something is done” (Tinning, McCuaig & Hunter, 2006, p. 80). Students that are obese are more likely to develop health problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, cancer, sexual health issues and breathing disorders. These health problems could be life threatening or cause problems later in life, if not treated.
When students are obese, quality of life falters. They will not be able to do things they used to do, such as participating in play and recreation activities. Obese students may also avoid going out in public
