Document Summary
Prevention potential of risk factors for childhood obesity by kuhle et al (2010) Experts say that by 2021, 70% of males and 50% of females in canada will be either overweight or obese. Research done measured bmi, waist circumference, hip circumference and percent body mass. In brock, males gained 8. 4 lbs and females gained 3. 6 lbs. In males, an average gain of 6. 6 lbs. In females, an average gain of 5. 3 lbs. In considering weight management, lifestyle changes should be focused on, not short-term weight loss or weight gain. Food calories = physical activity and digestion. Positive energy balance is gaining weight (energy in > energy out) Negative energy balance is losing weight (energy in < energy out) Since starting at brock do you think that your energy intake has increased: yes, no. 60% said it increased, 40% said it did not. Both males and females energy intake was lower.
