This document discusses childhood obesity and potential solutions. It begins by defining obesity and identifying causes such as diet, family history, lack of exercise, and psychological factors. Common causes in children include regularly eating high-calorie fast foods and snacks, coming from an overweight family, and not engaging in physical activity. The document then examines literature about childhood obesity rates increasing in Azerbaijan and unhealthy foods available in schools. Potential solutions proposed include intensifying education about obesity in schools and providing parents more information, as children are primarily influenced by their parents and teachers. Working together, families, schools, and society can combat obesity.

3. Introduction #1
Obesity is defined as the simplest form of
increased body fat mass. The most
common known cause of obesity is
greater than energy burned state of the
energy intake. Childhood obesity is a
serious issue that has become the source
of many illnesses for young children and
adolescents in the nation.
This project will demonstrate how
obesity in children has become a problem
for this generation and possible solutions
to combat the pandemic.

4. Introduction #2

5.  Diet: Regularly eating high calorie foods, such as fast foods, baked goods and
vending machine snacks can easily cause your child to gain weight.
 Family history: If your child comes from a family of overweight people, he or she
may be more likely to put on excess weight, especially in an environment where
high- calorie food is always available and physical activity isn’t encouraged.
 Lack of exercise: Children who don’t exercise much are more likely to gain weight
because they don’t burn calories through physical activity. Inactive leisure
activities, such as watching television or playing video games, contribute to the
problem.
 Psychological factors: Some children overeat to cope with problems or to deal with
emotions, such as stress, or to fight boredom.
 Family factors: If many of the groceries you buy are convenience foods, such as
cookies, chips and other high- calorie items, this can contribute to your child’s
weight gain

6.  Why do we choose the Obesity
and what are the impacts of it?
 What are the solutions to solve
this problem and what do we
solve?

7. We prefer qualitative approach throughout our research. It includes to
research the solution ways of the issue, to evaluate the effective methods
and to provide an approach to the issue qualitatively by applying this
method.
Our hypothesis
We have decided that to solve this problem it is must intensify
trainings about this problem in schools and give parents
information in details. Because while children grow their parents
and teachers are always with them respectively at home and school.
This model is helpful to prevent obesity.

8. As we mentioned above, it is necessary to look through articles, writings
which have been used and reports of the studies carried previously out during
the research. It is a must to find out the faults within the data and to resolve
them as you can and finally to introduce them. We used interview, web sites,
the articles by reading.

9. Literature review

10. Until recent times, canteens in
Azerbaijani schools put on display
harmful food and drinks, such as doner
(like hamburger) and several sweet
drinks, which were very popular
among schoolchildren.
Childhood obesity remains one of the most
serious public health challenges of the 21st
century, hitting as many as 637 children
registered as suffered of overweight in
Azerbaijan in 2014.The statistics shows that
childhood obesity has more than doubled
over the past five years in the country.
While we have been at the schools, we
have been interested in what do pupils eat in
the schools in Azerbaijan.

11. Overweight is having more body fat than is
optimally healthy. Being overweight is
common especially where food supplies are
plentiful and lifestyles are sedentary
Exercise therapy is a program of physical
activities carried out in an effort to reach
specific health goals.
Pharmacotherapy is therapy using
pharmaceutical drugs, as distinguished from
therapy using surgery (surgical therapy),
radiation (radiation therapy), movement
(physical therapy), or other modes.
Self-monitoring is a theory that deals with
the phenomena of expressive controls.
Human beings generally differ in substantial
ways in their abilities and desires to engage in
expressive controls.

12. In 2013, 42 million
infants and young
children were
overweight or obese,
worldwide1 and 70
million young children
will be overweight or
obese by 2025 if current
trends continue.1
Without intervention,
overweight infants and
young children will
likely continue to be
overweight during
childhood, adolescence
and adulthood.

13. At this research, we define the main problems of our Childhood Obesity and
offer solutions.The growing issue of childhood obesity can be slowed, if society
focuses on the causes. There are many components that play into childhood obesity,
some being more crucial than others. The most important being the parents
supervising the children at home in both food choices and exercising regularly. If
parents enforce a healthier lifestyle at home then many obesity problems could be
avoided. What children learn at home about eating healthy, exercising and making
the right nutritional choices, will eventually spill over into other aspects of their life.
This will have the biggest influence on the choices kids make when selecting foods
to consume at school and fast-food restaurants and choosing to be active. Focusing
on these causes may, over time, decrease childhood obesity and lead to a healthier
society as a whole. As a result, family, school and society, going hand in hand fight
against obesity has become a public health problem.
