  CHILDREN'S HEALTH DECLINE!
  OUT OF CONTROL!
As reported in The Cost of Being Sick (2003)
By Nicholas J. Webb
The Surgeon General's call to action to prevent and decrease overweight and obesity due to:
  • In 1999, an estimated 13 percent of children and adolescents were overweight.
  • Obesity trends are associated with dramatic increases in conditions such as asthma and type II diabetes in children.
Obesity contributes more to higher cost increases for health-care services and medications than do either smoking or drinking. (Health Affairs Journal, 2002).
We are seeing and experiencing the impact of poor diets and sedentary lifestyles in the kids:
  • 80 percent of five to eight year olds have one risk factor for heart disease.
  • 40 percent of five to eight year olds already exhibit obesity and high cholesterol levels.
  • An obese preschooler has a 25 percent higher chance of being obese as an adult than does a non-obese child.
  • 25 percent of second graders can not touch their toes.
  • 76 percent of elementary school kids cannot do one chin up.
  • 50 percent of all teenage boys and 33 percent of teenage girls cannot walk up and down stairs for more than six minutes without straining their cardiovascular system.
  • 30 percent of boys under thirteen cannon run a mile in less than ten minutes.
