, ABSTRACT
▪
Obesity and overweight in adolescents is an epidemic and a damaging health concern.
▪
This obesity epidemic has shown that children who are overweight or obese have
higher risk of developing diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia
▪
Implementation of a family based intervention such as exercises and diet has shown
promises to decrease and manage obesity and overweight in children
▪
The purpose of this proposal is to examine the effect of family leisure activities on
individuals with basal metabolic index (BMI) greater than 25
, INTRODUCTION
► Obesity and overweight in children has been an ongoing phenomenon and increasingly
getting worse day by day
► Lifestyle and future of children are constantly being influenced by the environment,
family structure, and genetics
► More than 31.1% of children between fourteen to nineteen years of age are either
obese or overweight
► The cost of treating obesity could have a long term effect on the individual patient,
families and the general population.
► Obesity can be prevented by educating children, families, providing a nutritional
support, and lifestyle changes .
