My course project is on child obesity in los angeles. overweight and obesity in black and Hispanic children is a growing problem . In order to fight overweight and obesity in minority children more programs need to be implemented, especially in urban areas, where much of the populations are minorities. I believe this problem can be solved with active participation in obesity prevention programs, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and parental involvement. High risks of diseases such as non-insulin dependent diabetes (type II), hypertension, and cardiovascular disease pose threats to overweight and obese children, especially minority children. Minority children are more prone to type II diabetes, with incidences of up to 50 percent in areas with populations of black, Asian, Hispanic, and American Indian children(CDC.gov,2011). This is especially troubling with minorities because they already run a greater risk of obesity, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease throughout their lives .
Eating a healthy diet and being physically active can lower weight, cholesterol, and blood pressure, but maintaining this lifestyle is difficult for many patients.
