In general, life expectancy has increased by more than thirty years since 1900 and much of this improvement is due to the reduction of infant and early childhood mortality. Given this trajectory toward a healthier childhood, we begin the 21st-century with a shocking development "an epidemic of obesity in children and youth. The increased number of obese children throughout the U.S. during the past 25 years has led policymakers to rank it as one of the most critical public health threats of the 21st-century. Preventing Childhood Obesity provides a broad-based examination of the nature, extent, and consequences of obesity in U.S. children and youth, including the social, environmental, medical, and dietary factors responsible for its increased prevalence. The book also offers a prevention-oriented action plan that identifies the most promising array of short-term and longer-term interventions, as well as recommendations for the roles and responsibilities of numerous stakeholders in various sectors of society to reduce its future occurrence. Preventing Childhood Obesity explores the underlying causes of this serious health problem and the actions needed to initiate, support, and sustain the societal and lifestyle changes that can reverse the trend among our children and youth. 606 $aObesity in children$zUnited States$xPrevention 606 $aChild health services$zUnited States 606 $aNutrition policy$zUnited States 606 $aHealth promotion$zUnited States 606 $aObesity$xprevention & control 606 $aAdolescent 606 $aChild 606 $aHealth Policy 606 $aHealth Promotion$xmethods 606 $aSocial Environment 607 $aUnited States 615 0$aObesity in children$xPrevention. 615 0$aChild health services 615 0$aNutrition policy 615 0$aHealth promotion 615 12$aObesity$xprevention & control. 615 22$aAdolescent. 615 22$aChild. 615 22$aHealth Policy. 615 22$aHealth Promotion$xmethods. 615 22$aSocial Environment. 676 $a618.92/398 701 $aLiverman$b Catharyn T$01086332 701 $aKoplan$b Jeffrey$01807509 701 $aKraak$b Vivica I$01805135 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bFood and Nutrition Board. 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bBoard on Health Promotion and Disease Prevention. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910953584203321 996 $aPreventing childhood obesity$94357279 997 $aUNINA
