Abstract

With an uncontrollable amount of energy dense food engulfing children’s life today, no child is completely protected against being overweight or obese. An inordinate intake of energy dense food and lack of physical activity have resulted in a higher rate of obesity in children. In order to combat the seemingly intractable problem, various preventive measures against childhood obesity have been suggested and are currently in effect. It is imperative to evaluate the methodology and potential impact of published obesity-prevention programs, that focus primarily on home, school, and health care environments.
