Introduction
Children require different types of diets as they grow up. Every stage of development requires a specific type of diet to enhances growth and general well-being. This is why the federal government has set up rules and regulations and governs to school lunches in the United States. The government introduces updated National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs (NSLP) in 2012 to cut down sugar, sodium and fat intake in the schools. The program included introduction of fruits, whole grains and vegetables every day. Statistics shows that nearly one third of children and adolescents in the country are obese and overweight. Poor nutrition in school lunches also increases chances of developing chronic diseases such as kidney stones, heart diseases and diabetes (Schuna, 2017). Healthy nutrition among children and adolescents enhances memory development, social skills and fine motor skills. Nutritionally sound diets in children and preadolescents plays very important roles in preparing them to (for) a healthier future. It is therefore the responsibility of the government to ensure school lunches are free of excess sugar, salt and fats.
There a strong relationship between nutrition and brain development. High intake of poor diet during the earlier years in children leads to anxiety and depression in later years. It also increases emotional and behavioral problems. However, healthy diets such as vegetables, whole grains and fruits prevent children’s risk to for depression in later years. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA, 2018), whole grains contains vitamins B, fiber and minerals that helps kids in school to concentrate in class. The government through the USDA started offering whole-grain rich food in school lunches after the enactment of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act in 2012. The problem now is that these rules have been relaxed and children and adolescents are back consuming sugary foods. Also most schools do not adhere to NLSP program expectations.

Methods This should be Nutrition Relation Topics – what areas of your research are related to nutrition?
Next should be Nutrition Interventions – what studies were conducted?
The research methodology used in this nutrition research paper involved systematic reviews of various sources involving children, preadolescents and nutrition. Most of these studies were obtained from government agency databases such as United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), NHANES and other nutrition databases. The research studies reviewed were majorly conducted through Cross-sectional surveys, surveillance surveys and experimental designs. Data were obtained through admission of questionnaires and interviews. Statistical tools such as regression analysis were used in analyzing the data.
Research Findings This should be Nutrition.
I provided background information and research on child nutrition, and I related it to child development theories and application to research, teaching, and working with children. This research paper encompasses human growth and development by sharing how a child's ecological system impacts their wellbeing, such as food programs, school, or family.
The document discusses childhood obesity and the role of parents in preventing and treating it. It provides evidence from several studies that treating parents alone through education and lifestyle changes leads to better weight loss outcomes in children compared to only treating the children. Parents have significant influence over their child's diet, physical activity, and home environment. Therefore, new interventions should focus on empowering parents to create a healthy lifestyle for their families.

This document discusses nutritional standards and policies around school meals programs in the United States. It notes that childhood obesity rates have tripled in recent decades and many children consume too much fat and too few fruits and vegetables. The document outlines various federal and state programs that provide school meals, but also notes that "competitive foods" high in fat and sugar that are sold outside of meal programs contribute to poor diets and undermine nutrition standards. It calls for restrictions on competitive food sales and increased funding to improve child nutrition and health.
The document reviews several studies on nutrition interventions for children. It finds that parent-based interventions have the most positive influence on children's nutrition habits. Involving other aspects of children's lives, like their school environment, can also improve outcomes. The review concludes that public health must address all aspects of children's lives to effectively improve nutrition and potentially decrease obesity rates over the next five years.

Department of Education (DepEd) organizes nutritional programs to improve the health status of children in public schools. Likewise, the researcher believes that health awareness must be raised in private schools as well. This study aimed to affect the community to be aware and more knowledgeable about nutrition. Specifically, this study focused on the nutritional status of school age children in private elementary schools in Santa Rosa, Nueva Ecija. It sought to determine the profile of the learners, anthropometrics, clinical data and the knowledge of the learners as to dietary and the significant relationship between the profile of the learners and the nutritional status of the school aged children. With all the data gathered a meal management program was proposed. The study employed the quantitative description design. The study manifests that majority of the respondents were not yet aware of what they eat. In addition, age, greatly affects the respondent’s anthropometrics as to height. More so, age, number of siblings and family income, greatly affect the respondents’ anthropometrics as to weight. The researcher adopted the Nutritional Guidelines for Filipino program that was developed by the DOST- FNRI.

The Placemat Protocol is a novel measure designed to assess preschoolers' developing schemas of healthy meals. It involves children creating two pretend meals using highly realistic toy food models - a preferred meal and a healthy meal. The researcher can then analyze various dimensions of the meals created, such as nutritional content. The study aimed to validate this measure by comparing the nutritional profiles of the preferred vs. healthy meals and examining correlations with other measures of nutrition knowledge and dietary behaviors. Results showed children's healthy meals contained fewer calories, less fat and sugar, and more fiber than their preferred meals, supporting the validity of the Placemat Protocol as a developmentally appropriate way to measure preschoolers' understanding of healthy eating.
Peer involvement and skill-sharing was found to contribute to adolescents adopting and maintaining healthy lifestyles. A study evaluated a program called "Share Activities" where student leaders taught their peers about following the USDA's Dietary Guidelines through activities focused on eating breakfast, reducing sugary drinks, increasing fruit/vegetable intake, decreasing junk food, and increasing physical activity. Surveys found most peers were motivated to adopt healthy behaviors after participating and over half reported improving their diets, showing that peer influence can positively impact adolescents' health.

Abstract
Childhood obesity is a global public health concern and its increasing over the years and it is defined as an increase in body fat and this is related to an abnormal weight gain for their age and height. The obese child is more predisposed to being an obese adult and tends to increase his probability of early mortality. Causes or risk factors are closely related to genetic inheritance, lifestyle, and environmental factors, such as school diet, socioeconomic problems, and technology. It can also cause diseases such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep disorders, among others. The causes and risk factors of childhood obesity because it helps to understand the increasing growth of obese children and adults in the world. Knowing the causes or risk factors allows specialists to find or propose solutions for its prevention.
Cause and Risk Factors of Childhood Obesity
Did you know that overweight and obesity in children and adolescents is one of the faster-growing epidemics in the world, that it is not only related to excessive consumption of calories? Although childhood obesity is caused by eating more energy than it is burning, and it is associated with a dietary factor and sedentary lifestyle, exists others less known causes associated with genetic, psychological, family, sociocultural, socioeconomic and environmental factors that develop and increase the risk of the childhood obesity.
As a global health concern, World Health Organization (WHO), classifies if a child is overweight or obese using body mass index (BMI) “systematic reviews have shown that the BMI (…) provides the best simple means of defining obesity in children and adolescents” (Really). BMI is a simple indicator of the relationship between weight and height that it is used to identify obesity in children and adults. It is calculating by dividing children’s weight in kilos by the square of their height in meters BMI = (kg) / Height² (m²). For instance, the WHO uses the BMI-for-age chart for boys for screening for overweight or obesity in the child. As it has shown in figure 1 and 2 respectively, the line labeled 0 on the growth chart is the median or the average. A child whose BMI-for-age is above line 3 is obese, above 2 is overweight and above 1shows the possible risk of overweight. Obesity is interpreted “as an excess of body fat” (Sahoo) because it is understood that the excess of weight is due to the growth of fat cells or the born of the new ones. According to the researchers the prevalence of pediatric obesity in the world has increased at an alarmed rate s from “2% to 6.7% in 2010” (Al-Agha), turning it as the most serious public health challenge of this time.

This literature review summarizes research on factors influencing junk food consumption. It finds that junk food is linked to health issues like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. On average, 36% of US children consume junk food daily, with 11% getting over 45% of their calories from it. Some people avoid junk food due to health awareness, while others consume it due to affordable prices and convenient locations of fast food restaurants. Recommendations to reduce consumption include increasing health education and making healthier options more available and affordable.
This study examined the relationship between parent and child media exposure, child dietary intake, and child perceptions of healthy meals in the context of household food security. The study found:
1. For food-secure households, greater parent and child commercial TV viewing predicted increased child intake of obesogenic foods and decreased intake of fruits and vegetables.
2. For food-insecure households, the relationships between parent and child TV viewing and child dietary intake were less clear.
3. Greater child commercial TV viewing predicted children incorporating more energy-dense foods into their pretend healthy meals, indicating less healthy meal schemas.
4. Food insecurity did not significantly moderate the relationships between media exposure and child dietary intake or meal
This document summarizes a study that examined the relationship between parent and child media exposure, preschooler dietary intake, and preschooler perceptions of healthy meals, taking into account the potential moderating role of food insecurity. The study found that greater child and parent commercial TV viewing was associated with more obesogenic dietary intake for children in food-secure but not food-insecure households. Child commercial TV viewing also predicted a greater proportion of energy-dense foods in children's imagined healthy meals. The findings suggest food insecurity may moderate the effects of food marketing on children.

Abstract
Childhood obesity is a global public health concern and its increasing over the years and it is defined as an increase in body fat and this is related to an abnormal weight gain for their age and height. The obese child is more predisposed to being an obese adult and tends to increase his probability of early mortality. Causes or risk factors are closely related to genetic inheritance, lifestyle, and environmental factors, such as school diet, socioeconomic problems, and technology. It can also cause diseases such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep disorders, among others. The causes and risk factors of childhood obesity because it helps to understand the increasing growth of obese children and adults in the world. Knowing the causes or risk factors allows specialists to find or propose solutions for its prevention.
Cause and Risk Factors of Childhood Obesity
Did you know that overweight and obesity in children and adolescents is one of the faster-growing epidemics in the world, that it is not only related to excessive consumption of calories? Although childhood obesity is caused by eating more energy than it is burning, and it is associated with a dietary factor and sedentary lifestyle, exists others less known causes associated with genetic, psychological, family, sociocultural, socioeconomic and environmental factors that develop and increase the risk of the childhood obesity.
As a global health concern, World Health Organization (WHO), classifies if a child is overweight or obese using body mass index (BMI) “systematic reviews have shown that the BMI (…) provides the best simple means of defining obesity in children and adolescents” (Really). BMI is a simple indicator of the relationship between weight and height that it is used to identify obesity in children and adults. It is calculating by dividing children’s weight in kilos by the square of their height in meters BMI = (kg) / Height² (m²). For instance, the WHO uses the BMI-for-age chart for boys for screening for overweight or obesity in the child. As it has shown in figure 1 and 2 respectively, the line labeled 0 on the growth chart is the median or the average. A child whose BMI-for-age is above line 3 is obese, above 2 is overweight and above 1shows the possible risk of overweight. Obesity is interpreted “as an excess of body fat” (Sahoo) because it is understood that the excess of weight is due to the growth of fat cells or the born of the new ones. According to the researchers the prevalence of pediatric obesity in the world has increased at an alarmed rate s from “2% to 6.7% in 2010” (Al-Agha), turning it as the most serious public health challenge of this time.

This literature review summarizes research on factors influencing junk food consumption. It finds that junk food is linked to health issues like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. On average, 36% of US children consume junk food daily, with 11% getting over 45% of their calories from it. Some people avoid junk food due to health awareness, while others consume it due to affordable prices and convenient locations of fast food restaurants. Recommendations to reduce consumption include increasing health education and making healthier options more available and affordable.
This study examined the relationship between parent and child media exposure, child dietary intake, and child perceptions of healthy meals in the context of household food security. The study found:
1. For food-secure households, greater parent and child commercial TV viewing predicted increased child intake of obesogenic foods and decreased intake of fruits and vegetables.
2. For food-insecure households, the relationships between parent and child TV viewing and child dietary intake were less clear.
3. Greater child commercial TV viewing predicted children incorporating more energy-dense foods into their pretend healthy meals, indicating less healthy meal schemas.
4. Food insecurity did not significantly moderate the relationships between media exposure and child dietary intake or meal
This document summarizes a study that examined the relationship between parent and child media exposure, preschooler dietary intake, and preschooler perceptions of healthy meals, taking into account the potential moderating role of food insecurity. The study found that greater child and parent commercial TV viewing was associated with more obesogenic dietary intake for children in food-secure but not food-insecure households. Child commercial TV viewing also predicted a greater proportion of energy-dense foods in children's imagined healthy meals. The findings suggest food insecurity may moderate the effects of food marketing on children.
Case Study Of Childhood Obesity Essay Example Paper.docx4934bk
This document discusses childhood obesity, including its health risks and causes. It outlines several health issues associated with childhood obesity like asthma, sleep issues, diabetes, and risk factors for heart disease. Social impacts like bullying and low self-esteem are also discussed. The document advocates for obtaining more information about children's weights, activities, diets, and families to fully evaluate obesity-related health risks. It provides example questions to ask caregivers sensitively and recommends parents serve as healthy role models and participate in management programs with their children.
This document is a thesis presented by Jill Marie Parsh to Hawthorn University for a Master's degree in Health and Nutrition Education in 2012. The thesis discusses the problem of childhood obesity in the United States and proposes a nutrition and garden education program to increase fruit and vegetable consumption in middle school students. The literature review evaluates previous studies that implemented similar nutrition and garden curricula in schools. The methodology section outlines how to build a successful nutrition program based on the results of prior studies. The thesis concludes that a program including weekly nutrition education and experiential gardening over at least one year while incorporating parental involvement can effectively promote increased consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables in students.
This document discusses childhood obesity as a global health concern. It provides information on what BMI is and how it is used to diagnose obesity in children. It describes the various health effects of childhood obesity, including psychological effects, cardiovascular issues, metabolic disorders and others. It discusses factors that contribute to childhood obesity such as genetics, diet, physical inactivity, and social determinants.

This document summarizes research on childhood obesity, food marketing, and parental influence on children's food consumption. It discusses debates around who is to blame for rising obesity rates, with food advertisers and parents often criticized. The document reviews literature on "pester power" and children's persuasiveness. It questions assumptions that advertising always leads to purchases against parents' judgment or that parents prioritize health. The study explored these issues through research with New Zealand children on advertising exposure, snacking preferences, and parental mediation.

Recent Developments in Lifelong Learning
Karl Steffens
Introduction
We think of our societies as ‘knowledge societies’ in which lifelong learning is
becoming increasingly important. Lifelong learning refers to the idea that people
not only learn in schools and universities, but also in non-formal and informal
ways during their lifespan.The concepts of lifelong learning and lifelong education
began to enter the discourse on educational policies in the late 1960s (Tuijnman
& Boström, 2002). However, these are related, but distinct concepts. As Lee (2014,
p. 472) notes ‘the terminological change (from lifelong education, continuing
education and adult education, to lifelong learning) reflects a conceptual departure
from the idea of organised educational provision to that of a more individualised
pursuit of learning’.
One of the first important documents on lifelong learning was the report of the
International Commission on the Development of Education to UNESCO in
1972, titled ‘Learning to be. The world of education today and tomorrow’. In his
introductory letter to the Director-General of UNESCO, the chairman of the
Commission, Edgar Faure, stated that the work of the Commission was based on
four assumptions (see Elfert pp. and Carneiro pp. in this issue). The first was
related to the idea that there was an international community which was united by
common aspirations and the second was the belief in democracy and in education
as its keystones. The third was ‘that the aim of development is the complete
fulfilment of man, in all the richness of his personality, the complexity of his forms
of expression and his various commitments — as individual, member of a family
and of a community, citizen and producer, inventor of techniques and creative
dreamer’. The last assumption was that ‘only an over-all, lifelong education can
produce the kind of complete man, the need for whom is increasing with the
continually more stringent constraints tearing the individual asunder’ (Faure,
1972, p. vi).
Following the Faure Report, the UNESCO Institute for Education, which
was founded in Germany in 1951, started to focus on lifelong learning and
subsequently became the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL, http://
uil.unesco.org/home/). It was under its leadership that a formal model of lifelong
education was developed and published in the book ‘Towards a System of Life-
long Education’ (Cropley, 1980). The concept of lifelong learning also became
manifest in the ‘Education for All’ (EFA) agenda that was launched at the World
Conference on Education for All which took place in Jomtien (Thailand) in
1990 (Inter-Agency Commission, 1990). Ten years later, at the World Education
Forum in Dakar (Senegal) in 2000, the Dakar Framework for Action was
designed ‘to enable all individuals to realize their right to learn and to fulfil their
responsibility to contribute to the development of their society’ (UNESCO,
2000, p..

This amount is 16% higher than the National Average (Payscale, 2016). The reason for this increase is because of experience and geography. These are the two prime factors that impact the pay scale. Another major factor is the employer. Most employers base their decision to hire an individual on the experience they bring with them. Of course, with more experience, higher pay is required. With our company cutting cost a less experienced individual would be the best fit for the position.
Standard Employee Benefit
In many cases, your employee benefits could be the turning point for a prospective employee. This benefit is a vital portion of any employee packet. These valuable benefits are used as a blanket of security in the case of any sickness, injury, unemployment, old age, or death (Gomez-Mejia, Balkin & Cardy, 2015, p. 362). There is a significant difference between incentives and benefits: benefits are financial and nonfinancial compensations that are indirect to the employee. To have a competitive strategy Blossoms Up! must align their profits with the compensation package that has been already put in place. This action will help provide flexibility to the amount and the benefits available (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015).
There are also some benefits that most companies are legally obligated to provide. Three benefits are required regardless of the number of employees that the company has. These interests involve social security, workers compensation, and unemployment insurance (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015). Other laws must be adhered to when dealing with a certain number of individuals. When a company has 50 or more employee they must have the Family and Medical Leave Act in place and since its induction in 2015 the Affordable Care Act for Health Insurance for companies with 20 or more employees. For the health insurance to be considered standard medical, vision and dental plans must be made available to the business. These programs that must be regarded as being under the Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) or a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015).
There are some voluntary benefits that we can include. We are already looking into adding a pension package using the Defined Contribution Plan as well as the 401(K) plan (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015). Life insurance is another excellent benefit that could be added to the package as well as short-term and long-term disability insurance. Adding Vacation and PTO, and Holiday pay is .

The document discusses the importance of physical security for computer and network security. It notes that physical access negates all other security measures, as an attacker can directly access systems if they have physical proximity. It outlines several ways an attacker could exploit physical access, such as using bootable media like LiveCDs to access tools and directly image hard drives. The document emphasizes that physical security is foundational and must be carefully designed and implemented to protect against unauthorized access to systems and data.

Introduction
Children require different types of diets as they grow up. Every
stage of development requires a specific type of diet to
enhances growth and general well-being. This is why the federal
government has set up rules and regulations and governs to
school lunches in the United States. The government introduces
updated National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs
(NSLP) in 2012 to cut down sugar, sodium and fat intake in the
schools. The program included introduction of fruits, whole
grains and vegetables every day. Statistics shows that nearly
one third of children and adolescents in the country are obese
and overweight. Poor nutrition in school lunches also increases
chances of developing chronic diseases such as kidney stones,
heart diseases and diabetes (Schuna, 2017). Healthy nutrition
among children and adolescents enhances memory development,
social skills and fine motor skills. Nutritionally sound diets in
children and preadolescents plays very important roles in
preparing them to (for) a healthier future. It is therefore the
responsibility of the government to ensure school lunches are
free of excess sugar, salt and fats.
There a strong relationship between nutrition and brain
development. High intake of poor diet during the earlier years
in children leads to anxiety and depression in later years. It also
increases emotional and behavioral problems. However, healthy
diets such as vegetables, whole grains and fruits prevent
children’s risk to for depression in later years. According to the
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA, 2018), whole grains
contains vitamins B, fiber and minerals that helps kids in school
to concentrate in class. The government through the USDA
started offering whole-grain rich food in school lunches after
the enactment of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act in 2012.
The problem now is that these rules have been relaxed and
2. children and adolescents are back consuming sugary foods. Also
most schools do not adhere to NLSP program expectations.
You need a Population Concerns section
Methods This should be Nutrition Relation Topics – what areas
of your research are related to nutrition?
Next should be Nutrition Interventions – what studies were
conducted?
The research methodology used in this nutrition research paper
involved systematic reviews of various sources involving
children, preadolescents and nutrition. Most of these studies
were obtained from government agency databases such as
United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), NHANES and
other nutrition databases. The research studies reviewed were
majorly conducted through Cross-sectional surveys,
surveillance surveys and experimental designs. Data were
obtained through admission of questionnaires and interviews.
Statistical tools such as regression analysis were used in
analyzing the data.
Research Findings This should be Nutrition Outcomes – results
from the studies discussed in nutrition interventions
A study conducted by Edward, Mauch&Winkelman, (2011)
indicated that there was a strong relationship between physical
fitness, nutrition and improved academic behavior. The
experimental design used in the study required students to
undergo risk behavior survey where their fitness was assessed.
The results showed that physical fitness positively linked
students to academic success?. Therefore, the study supported
the move by the U.S. government to introduce regulated sodium,
sugar and fat intake in schools.
It was also found that children and preadolescents consumed
salt and sugar that exceeded the required limit. The results from
the study conducted by O’Neil et al. (2011) indicated that
children aged 2-5 years were the highest consumers of 100%
fruit juice at 71.1 percent followed with those in 6-12 years
bracket at 57 percent. The adolescents (13-18) were the lowest
consumers of 100% Fruit juice. High consumption of the fruit
3. juice has been associated with improved nutrition. 100% fruit
juices contains vital nutrients such as vitamin C, folate, Mg and
K(16) that are key in children dietary.
The results from the research review also indicated that
carbonated beverages contained sugars that increased likelihood
of children developing obesity and other lifestyle disease. In the
study by Collins et al. (2010), 5033 boys and 4400 girls
participated in the study. The waist circumference of the
participants was measured intake of carbonated beverages. The
findings indicated 12.7% boys and 27% girls were obese.
Therefore, the study confirmed the fact that sugary foods are
not fit for school going children since it increased causes
obesity and overweight.
Parents and other concerned parties have the mandate to
regulate and carefully select what their children consume every
day. This is because most industry products that contain
nutrition symbols do not actually (regulate what a child eats?)do
so. A study conducted by Colby et al. (2010) on 56900 items
showed that 48% of products has were marketing nutrition that
were was highly saturated with salts and sugars. Therefore, it is
not guaranteed that industry symbols of nutrition would help in
choosing the most appropriate diet. To alleviate from this
problem, parents and authorities should stick to unprocessed
food such as vegetables, fruits and whole grains for a healthy
diet in children and preadolescents.
Systematic review indicates that overconsumption of sugars, fat
and salt among preadolescents and children leads to adverse
health conditions in later years. Intake of food with high fat
content has been strongly associated with increased
cardiovascular diseases, obesity and overweight.
Overconsumption of salt; more than 6g a day causes high blood
pressure which raises the likelihood of one developing heart
related diseases and stroke. High sugar on the other hand causes
metabolic abnormalities, obesity, cardiovascular diseases and
diabetes. A cross-sectional study conducted by Kim & Chang,
(2011) linked high sugar consumption to Attention Deficit
4. Hyperactivity Disorder in school going children. Results from
the study showed that children with hyperactive disorder were
impulsive and inattentive in class. The condition was 9 times
more adverse in boys than girls. This proves that sugar in
school lunches were inappropriate and should be regulated.
Conclusion
As discussed, healthy diet in children and preadolescents is
crucial to mental development and physical well-being. Healthy
diet such as vegetables, fruits and whole grain are instrumental
in having children evade evading children from complications in
later years. The program initiated by the U.S. government to
regulate intake of sugar, salt and fat in schools is one of the
best strategies toward ensuring that young populations have
obesity and overweight free lives. There are strong evidences
that link sugar to health problems such as obesity, diabetes,
cardiovascular diseases and stroke among other chronic
ailments.

carbonated beverage consumption correlates with BMI, waist
circumference, and poor dietary choices in school
children. BMC public health, 10(1), 234.
The research hypothesis was that the consumption of carbonated
beverages that were sugar-sweetened increased the
circumference of the waist and lead to poor choices in dietary in
on boys than on girls. The study used a cross-sectional survey
design whereby food frequency questionnaire was used. There
were 5033 boys and 4400 girls who were within the age of 10 to
19 years participated in the study. Afterward, the circumference
of the waist was measured and was tested against the intake of
6. the dietary (Collison et al., 2010). If was found that the obesity
prevalence among boys to the girl was 12.2% and 27.0%
respectively. Thus the circumference of the waist was positively
correlated with the carbonated beverages that were sugar-
sweetened beverages on the intake of boys only and the results
were valid. Therefore, the study is suitable for my research to in
that it contributes to development of literature and background
regarding dietary choices among children.
Colby, S. E., Johnson, L., Scheett, A., & Hoverson, B. (2010).
Nutrition marketing on food labels. Journal of nutrition
education and behavior, 42(2), 92-98.
The hypothesis of the study was food labels may help customers
when selecting foods that contain low saturation of fats and
sugars. A ross-sectional survey was conducted where all items
were packed in selected food stores were evaluated. These items
were labels up to 56900 and the nutrition was surveyed. Colby
et al., (2010) explained that 49% of the products had marketing
nutrition and the other 48% contained both the marketing
nutrition that was highly saturated with fats and sugars. Study
findings were valid and verifiable. It was concluded that
industry symbols were not helpful in ensuring that customers
could easily choose low fats and low sugar foods. This is
significant to my research in that it contributes to the
explanation of what influences decision making in regard to
choice of foods among children.
Kim, Y., & Chang, H. (2011). Correlation between attention
deficit hyperactivity disorder and sugar consumption, quality of
diet, and dietary behavior in school children. Nutrition research
and practice, 5(3), 236-245.
The hypothesis was that there was a relationship between
consumed sugars and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
of hyperactivity among school children. A cross-sectional
7. survey involving 112 students where 58 were boys while 54
were girls was conducted (Kim & Chang, 2011). Data was
collected using a questionnaire that was administered
individually. It was found that the children who had the disorder
of hyperactivity were always inattentive and impulsive. The
disorder was around 9 time’s common in boys than in girls. I
find that the content of the study arguments was validated and
the sample size was adequate. Therefore, it is helpful in my
research to ensure in that it helps in clarification of the possible
correlation between high fat and sugar meals with some of the
medical conditions among children.

(2011). Diet quality is positively associated with 100% fruit
juice consumption in children and adults in the United States:
NHANES 2003-2006. Nutrition journal, 10(1), 17.
The hypothesis of the study was consumption of fruit juice
increases the quality of diet in children and adults. The study
used the descriptive analysis of 2003-2006 survey of National
Health and Nutrition Examination to evaluate the relationship
consumption of fruit juice with the quality of diet (O'Neil et al.,
2011). The results were analyzed using the regression analyses
and the standard errors method to determine the weights of the
participants. It was found that the there was a high association
between the energy intake and the saturation of fats. It was also
established that children consumed high salt and sugar food
beyond the allowed limits. The study is beneficial in my
research in that it points out that there is a problem to be
addressed concerning preadolescent nutrition.

8. Relationship of nutrition and
physical behaviors and fitness measures to academic
performance for sixth graders in a midwest city school
district. Journal of School Health, 81(2), 65-73.
The hypothesis of the study was that aspects such as physical
fitness, nutrition and fitness measures lead to improved
academic performance. The research used an experimental
design where the students were required to complete a youth
risk behavior surveillance survey that assessed the fitness. The
results were in turn matched with the standardized scores thus
were valid. In addition, the difference in the mean scores was
put into comparison with the categories that were selected in
order to analyze the variance. Edward, Mauch & Winkelman,
(2011) illustrated that there were many positive behaviors and
measures for fitness that were highly associated with the
academic scores thus supporting the schools to focus on the
lifestyles that were healthy. The study did not have any loss to
follow up although participants were not randomized. The
research contributes to my research in that it makes my case on
the value of good nutrition practices on school going children.
