Statistics indicate that close to 1000, children referred to hospitals within the last three years owing to their weight. The overarching theme of this essay is that childhood obesity can be highlighted as two conditions in which disparities in children’s health is particularly evident, and the underpinning cause of disparities, which can be tied to an individual, social, and environmental factors. Discussion Obesity can be defined as an excessively high amount of body fat relative to the lean body mass. Overweight represents an increased body weight relative to height. In the event that parents are obese, there is a high likelihood (50% chance) that a child will also be obese. Although genetics remains one of the contributing factors to obesity, research has shown that poor eating habits (overeating), family eating patterns, lack of exercise, and lack of exercise contribute to the inability to sustain a healthy weight (Chen and Escarce 2010, p.53). Overweight children may be predisposed to the development of numerous health conditions later in life including high cholesterol and high blood pressure, which are linked to heart disease during adulthood. Furthermore, Type 2 diabetes has increased considerably among overweight children and adolescents. Obese children are also susceptible to suffering from orthopaedic complications including abnormal bone growth, pain, and degenerative disease. The mental health effects of childhood obesity include social discrimination and low self-esteem. This contributes to easing at school difficulties encountered in playing sports, fatigue, as well as other obesity-linked problems that severely impact on obese children’s well-being.&nbsp.
