Key School
Strategies to Prevent Childhood Obesity (10/30/05)http://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/keystrategies/
The percentage of children who are overweight has more than doubled, and
among adolescents the rates have more than tripled since 1980. Overweight is
a risk factor for health conditions such as diabetes and is associated with
problems such as poor self-esteem. The good news is that schools can help
students and staff adopt healthy eating and physical activity behaviors that
are the keys to preventing obesity!
