Obesity has become a common and problematic epidemic within the United States in which communities are gathering in forces to provide prevention tactics for the individuals as well as family oriented to encourage healthier lifestyle choices. Currently today an estimate of about 39% of the population struggled with obesity and unfortunately about 18.5% of these overweight categories were centered on youth in particular (Kelly, 2019). Being obese adds to increased risk of various kinds of debilitating illnesses and the criteria for obesity has now been clearly defined by the measurement of the body mass index in which health providers can effectively begin aggressive prevention once diagnosed. Heart disease, diabetes, psychological, and lifestyle issues with supposed potential cancers have been researched in the overall illness range that obesity influences (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2018). Contributing factors that increase the likelihood of overweight tendencies surface from genetic and socioeconomic influences. Those who have family that struggle with weight gain are highly likely to struggle also. Ethnic races have shown Hispanic and African American are the highest rates on obesity, 50% in both, while Caucasian and Asian are the lowest ranging scale of 37% to 12%. (Healthy People 2020, 2019).
Tactics to promote healthy lifestyles within a community are bringing awareness and prevention opportunities for families and individuals who acknowledged the risk factors of certain obesity formation. Individual or family adapted health behavior changes, prompts to encourage walking paths, trails, or public organizations that encourage healthy lifestyle such as the YMCA , enhanced school-based physical education with nutrition promotion and media campaigns that deliver the messages by television, social media, newspaper or radio are strong community strategies that can address the obesity epidemic today.
We as nurses can act as role models by educating the public on nutrition and obesity related problems. A healthy diet is a key component to reducing weight gain and overall health. As a community health nurse, the opportunity to closely work with people in providing education and healthier choices that help people feel they have options for nutrition can be seen as a personal counselor to develop goals and a plan for positive achievement. A form of exercise to complement the healthy diet can be applied by giving support to help individuals identify a safe and effective activity plan that they will stick to with encouragement to use public outlets. The community nurse can promote change by explaining the risk factors that cause obesity and provide more scientific elements of the health issue. By opening communication through means of community boards, social media, and leaflets or presentations in public areas such as YMCA or Health Department interest can be supported by.

Domestic Violence
The purpose of this analysis is to provide a wide introduction to the problem of injury in
the U.S., and help in the development of an innovative way of thinking about commencing a plan
for injury prevention. Although injuries are a major problem in the United States, they can as easily
be prevented. There are a lot of models that work in prevention of both intentional and
unintentional injuries.
Creation of a warm and welcoming environment is an effective strategy in preventing
incidences of violence at the community level. This strategy aims at addressing problems at a
community level, concentrating on the development of structured and supervised opportunities for
community members and addressing various kinds of violence through multiple types of solutions.
An entire community should be treated like a patient instead of individual-based treatment
strategies. Taking a social environment prevention strategy means that there is focus on prevention
of violence. This illustrates that apart from attaching importance in developing formal laws to
punish violence perpetrators, prevention of violence is a key element. Therefore, approaches
should be aimed at averting the incidence of both violence and injury cases in the first place.
Regulation is also an effective element in preventing unintentional injuries. This involves
passing policies related to serving alcohol, policies for legal driving age, worker safety policies
and concealed weaponry laws. These efforts result in a reduction of incidents on injuries. The
most important concept is that there are numerous ways in which a community and people, at an
individual level, can intervene to prevent injuries and violence in communities. The social
environment is very important and issues of violence should be displayed on mass media to
discourage such behaviors, while also sensitizing people on the same.
Access to Health Care
Access to health care in the United States encompasses a system of service providers that
make a complete system. In this light, the access to health care has been a subject of discussion
since the early 1870s. Importantly, the access to health care has grown over time from home health
care provision to the hospitals in large cities (Gulliford & Morgan, 2013). Notably, the history of
the health care in the United States has been motivated by the series of endless scientific
innovations over the years. In this way, the innovations have seen the system grow from the
constraints of health care access to the decline of mortality rates due to increased access to health
care. Clearly, in the early 1990s, the chronic diseases rose to be the leading causes of deaths
(Gulliford & Morgan, 2013). In this light, the developed systems that constituted of the new
procedures such as the x-rays and chemotherapy improved the health care access to the society.

Abstract
Obesity among American Hispanic females between the ages of twenty and sixty-four years old is the new health inequality in the United States. Food, physical activity, and obesity are one of these twelve leading health indices categorized as important national health issues by Healthy People 2020. Obesity is classified as anyone who surpasses substance mass indicator (BMI ) of thirty. According to females' wellness, three at four American females are overweight or obese. History of woman in Sports For most human history, healthy rivalry has been considered as an entirely masculine thing. Females weren't allowed to see most sporting events. Let only act in them. Not till late nineteenth century did females start participating in sporting events. Although females were allowed to participate in some sports, relatively few showed benefit, for a variety of cultural and mental reasons that are even poorly understood.
Although the fast gains seen in fat since the 1970s seem to have leveled off, Fat and obesity continue to take severe issues in the United States. Increasing physical activity and improving food are keys to fat prevention and control, in addition to policies that alter the situation to make wholesome eating and healthy physical activity more comfortable, safer, and more pleasing are expected to take most effective.
· Campaigns relying mainly on knowledge distribution and training to alter attitudes and behaviors associated with food and physical activity are the great importance of government action to ensure obesity. One might believe that the American world is flooded with media pictures that encourage fitness and inform about the risks of obesity (ONYECHERE, 2014).
· The overall population knows that mediocre food, lack of physical activity and fat are causing many health issues. The CDC is undertaking The problematic public health issue starting with schools, which should offer The quality nutrition system and ensure only healthful foods and drinks are available to students. As part of obesity prevention, multiple organizations will assist people recognize their body mass index, keep a healthy weight and incorporate physical activity into their lives (Raimond, 2013).
· The objective within its endeavors to advance the building food surroundings, encourage student health, in addition to decrease early days obesity, this region can hold on to the ADE principle Governing food in addition to Physical Activity Standards as well as Body Mass Index for the Age Assessment Protocols. To encourage diet, physical activity, in addition to other education-based events that can progress student health, the region, working with the SNPAAC, Has demonstrated the following goals: Use the level suitable nutrition training system that can create the consciousness of as well as understanding for food as well as physical activity ...

Good nutrition is a vital factor in leading a healthy life. However, poor nutrition may
lead to nutritional problems, such as poor growth, malnutrition, obesity, and overweight.
Obesity is a major health problem at the local, national and global levels as it is associated with
the prevalence of chronic diseases. It is a major risk factor for cardiovascular conditions, such
as stroke and heart diseases, diabetes as well as cancer. Obesity affects individuals of all ages.
It is, thus, important to develop effective health promotion strategies for addressing obesity in
communities.
Obesity is a serious health concern worldwide. According to global health statistics,
there is a rising number of people who are becoming overweight and obese (World Health
Organization (WHO), 2020). Obesity has been identified as a major risk factor for the
development of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and heart diseases, and one of the
leading causes of premature death. There is an estimate of 340 million adolescents and children
who are obese and overweight across the world, where it is also estimated that the number of
children and adolescents who are obese has outweighed the number of individuals who are
underweight (WHO, 2020). The main causes of the increase of obesity worldwide are
increasing urbanization as well as an increase in the dietary intake of sugary foods and fatty
meals. The health strategies towards reducing obesity worldwide include global action by
international agencies as well as promoting health education worldwide on the importance of
taking healthy meals and frequent exercises.
Obesity is also a growing health concern at the national level. According to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there is a constant rise in poor nutrition across the
country (Wang et al, 2020). Obesity, which is expressed in terms of Body Mass Index (BMI)
has had a significant and steady rise among children, adolescents, and the elderly, and
approximately, 37% of the entire population in the United States is estimated to be either obese
or overweight (Wang et al, 2020). Obesity has strongly been associated with the rising

prevalence of health concerns, such as diabetes, heart diseases, cancerous infections as well as
stroke as contributing risk factors in the United States. Similar to the global situation, obesity
has been associated with increased dietary intake of fatty and sugary meals. Other contributing
factors include physical environments, social health determinants, and family inheritance. The
health promotion strategies towards reducing its prevalence include providing access to
healthier foods, limiting access to junk and fast foods, promoting physical activities, a ...

2-2 Discussion: Prevention Strategies in Epidemiology
Overweight and obesity continue to be a leading health concern in the United States. It is estimated that up to 400,000 obesity-related deaths occur per year in America. Literature has shown that overweight and obesity are major causes of co-morbidity, including type II diabetes, various cancers, cardiovascular diseases and other heath problems. A person is considered overweight or obese when their weight is greater than what is generally considered healthy for their height. Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measurement that helps to figure out if you’re at a healthy weight for your height. BMI is calculated by dividing weight in pounds by height in inches squared and multiplying by a conversion factor of 703. An adult is considered overweight if their BMI is greater or equal to twenty-five. An adult is considered obese if their BMI is greater than or equal to thirty. The average American man and woman are 190 pounds and 163 pounds respectively according to the National Center for Health Statistics (Montgomery, 2008).
Epidemiological research is key to prevention of disease. Research on disease etiology is helpful in determining where in the disease’s natural history effective intervention might be implemented. Leavell and Clark, in the late 1940’s, were the first to describe the principles of disease prevention using the terms primary, secondary and tertiary prevention (Friis & Sellers, 2014). Primary prevention seeks to prevent a condition or disease at a pre-pathological state. The goal is to stop the condition or disease from ever happening. Primary prevention for overweight and obesity would be working together with policy makers, businesses, schools, childcare and healthcare professionals, state and local organizations to create an environment that supports a healthy lifestyle. Primary prevention differs from secondary and tertiary prevention in that secondary prevention focuses on early disease detection and intervention and tertiary prevention aims to control established disease and limit the amount of disability (Friis & Sellers, 2014). Secondary prevention for overweight and obesity would include defining obesity with BMI, education and explanation of the disease by the primary care physician, necessary changes in nutrition and physical activity. Tertiary prevention for overweight and obesity includes physical activity, weight loss, low carbohydrate diet, behavior therapy and nutritionists.
There are many national and state-level prevention policies and legislation in place to prevent or reduce obesity. For example, the federal government, in 2006-2007, began requiring all school districts with a federally funded school meal program to develop and implement wellness policies that address nutrition and physical activity. Steps to a Healthier US program is program administered by the Centers for Disease Control in 2003 that enables communities to develop action plans to prev.
Role of Daily life style and Medication in Prevention and treatment of obesityPriyankaKilaniya
The rising prevalence of overweight and obesity underscores the need for enhanced intervention strategies to tackle this significant public health issue. Increases in energy expenditure through exercise and other physical activity may be a crucial component of effective interventions to enhance initial weight loss and prevent weight regain. achieve these outcomes, it is recommended to engage in appropriate levels of exercise and physical activity, with 60 to 90 minutes per day being the recommended duration. Epidemiological surveys in England reveal that obesity is prevalent, defined as a body mass index (BMI) of greater than 30 kg/m2. This study is the first to report the prevalence of general obesity and abdominal obesity in the adult population of Spain, based on weight, height, and waist circumference measurements. Diet, smoking, and physical activity are significant lifestyle factors that can significantly impact body weight and fat accumulation. The PREDIMED study, a randomized dietary primary prevention trial conducted in Spain, assessed the relationship between lifestyle and obesity risk. A study assessed 7,000 high-cardiovascular risk subjects, determining a healthy lifestyle pattern (HLP) based on Mediterranean diet adherence, moderate alcohol consumption, daily physical activity of 200kcal/day, and non-smoking.

Definition of obesity
Causes of obesity
Statistics of Obesity in America.
Obesity is a condition where an individual have excess body fats leading to health problems. Obesity is an increasing problem in America with the rise in cases causing an alarm for the need to reduce the problem and promote healthy living. Statistics data released by health facilities and health institutions show an increasing trend of obesity in America. Obesity is caused by the uptake of high calorie food, genetic factors, lack of exercise and presence of underlying medical conditions.

Cause
Results from body storing excess energy in form of stored fats, thus by reducing intake can be a control measure.
Regulation of food intake as researched by professional cannot sustain control of increases in cases of obesity in society today. several factors interactions contribute to the situation. the causes have to first be understood. While most of the obesity cases are caused by excess consumption of food by an individual, it is also clear that some conditions are caused by more than excess consumption. This may include genetic, or other body disorders. The prevalence of the problem is increasing instead of reducing. Obesity rates have increased across all the population groups in the United States. It is therefore important to approach the problem from a different perspective.
Challenges being experienced can be grouped into the following major levels.
Intrapersonal Level
Interpersonal Level
Community/Institution Level
Macro/Public Policy Level
Medics and nutritionists have viewed the problem continuously as it could be solved through reducing the amount of food intake. However, body’s regulation of food consumption is not enough to deal with the epidemic. It is not a matter of the obese people decision to eat less food than they have been doing. It has been seen that obesity can be reduced through a different treatment of the problem. This may involve first deciding the root cause that triggers a person to eat so much food.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Obesity in latin América
Over the past three decades the prevalence of overweight and obesity has
increase substancially. Globally, en estimated 170 million children (aged less
18 years) are estimated to be overweight, and in some countries the number
of overweight children has trebled since 1980. The high prevalence of
overweight and obesity has serious health consequences.
Raised body mass index (BMI) is a major risk factor for diseases such as
cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and many cancers including,
colorectal cancer, kidney cancer and oesophageal cancer.
These diseases, often referred to as non-communicable diseases (NCDs)
No only cause premature mortality but also lon-term morbidity.
In addition, overweight and obesity in children are associated with
reductions in quality of life and a grater risk of teasing, bullying and social
isolation.
5. Due to the rapid increase in obesity prevalence and the serious health
consequences, obesity is commonly considered one of the most health
challenges of the early 21st century.
In Latin América there are several problems associated to the lack
of access: to services, rights, clean water, food, etc. leading to a dual
epidemiological burden of infectious diseases, infant mortality; but
also chronic disease, cancer, TB, diabetes, etc. There is a lack of
adequate information in order to implement right programatic
decisions.
6. Most of our health systems have had a curative emphasis instead a
preventive one through the last years. Since the Alma-Ata 80´s conference,
WHO invited the country members to revert this and to build an horizontal
system, with the primary focus in health maintenance, health promotion and
healthy life styles, and of course ti treat diseases as well.
Due to the lack of attention of those recommendations, there is an increase of
non transmitted chronic diseases, preventable, most of them promoting
healthy lifestyles and frequent medical visits. In Latin America we don’t have
the culture of routine check ups. We visit the doctors only when we are sick.
We must work in the prevention culture and health education.
For example in Mexico the health problems are serious and multifactorial:
Obesity is related with the consumption of non-nutritional food (being the first
place in this), it is also related to the lack of government control about
advertising and healthy use of nutritional products. The pharmaceutical
industry is huge and promote consumption rather on prevention.
7. All this has been aggravated with the dramatic fall of the national income product
and personal income, getting to a worse health situation.
The health coverage is wide but with lack of quality, lack of investment and medical
training. The services are usually insufficient to cover the demand. Patients can take
months before can have an specialized consultation.
Once in awhile there’s some sort of advertising to promote healthy nutritional habits,
but they aren’t permanent. The programs of safety school and healthy food don't
have an impact due to inadequate school norms or condition being the teachers to
carried out those initiatives.
8. 2. Existing solutions.
The Global Strategy on Diet, Physical Activity and Health (DPAS) was
developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2004 to address
the increasing prevalence and burden of NCDs. More specifically, the
strategy focuses on improving global diet and physical activity patterns,
two of the main risk factors for NCDs.
The four main objectives addressed by DPAS are:
1. To encourage the implementation of public health action and
preventative intervention to reduce the risk factors which result from
unhealthy diet and physical inactivity.
2. To increase recognition of the implications of unhealthy diet and
inadequate physical activity levels and knowledge of preventative
measures.
3. To promote policies and action plans at all levels to address diet and
physical activity behaviors.
4. To encourage monitoring, evaluation and further research.
DPAS calls for priority to be given to the socially, economically and
politically disadvantaged, and for the unhealthy diet and physical activity
behaviours of, in particular, children and adolescents to be addressed.
9. Different campaigns have been carried out but the characteristic of Latin
america is cultural diversity of languages and customs, one solution for one
country may not be feasible for other. People do not adapt to official
messages, at the contrary the messages must be adapted to the
communities. In order to give access primary care it´s essential the use of
voluntary workers, give them access to information, permanent update, tools
to work. Although the use of mobile phones is wider more and more, there
are many educative and cultural app´s for health: still exist wider way to go
with documented experiences with anthropological and sociological focus, in
order to have information on how to go in this direction. We can start a
project in the area of communication and information in the topic of obesity to
people in urban and slum areas, with cellular phones, and register
extensively the experience.
10. 3. Possible innovate solutions.
Educate to lower income population the obesity problem with one app for
mobile phone with a process of gamification which can motivate and modify
behavior, with the support of health workers to support the opportunities of
community health workers through technological tools such cellular phones,
tablets, communication in real time with doctors in case of emergencies,
hospitals networks, etc.
Smartphone applications are now being developed to target changes in
weight-related health behaviors and conditions related to obesity such as
diabetes. A recent review of mobile phone interventions to increase physical
activity and reduce weight found two studies in which smartphone-based
interventions were tested.
Use of mobile technologies, social media, web-based interventions, and other
new technologies for obesity research, prevention and treatment.
Design an application to promote the increase of physical activity and
consumption of fruits and vegetables using a simplified points system for self-
monitoring and team-based social interaction addapted to latin american
population.
11. Nutritional counseling.
Require resources (human/materials) health workers, community leaders,
government, civil society, academy, tablets, cellular phones, monitoring
and measurements system.
Target population: age groups (children, teenagers, young adults, old
adults)
How to evaluate impact: the only way is the registration of measurements
of the group and do this in regular basis.
