32 Growth in Childhood Obesity, 1971 to Present: Source: CDC, National Center for Health Statistics, National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys

33 Causes of the Epidemic Source: American Heart Association - Growing portion sizes - Poor nutrition - Dining out more - Moving less

34 Causes of the Epidemic Growing Portion Sizes Americans are eating more Portions have grown dramatically in recent decades People eat more when served bigger portions

35 Causes of the Epidemic Less Nutrition/Poor Choices Americans are eating more and more foods that are high in calories but don t meet their nutritional needs. A majority of Americans are not getting enough vitamins and nutrients through healthy foods, such as fat-free or low-fat dairy, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. French fries are the most common vegetable consumed by children

36 Causes of the Epidemic Dining Out People dine out more than ever before. When people dine out, they consume more calories than if they eat at home. Away-from-home meals contain fewer fruits, vegetables and whole grains than foods prepared at home.

37 Causes of the Epidemic Lack of Physical Activity Children are not getting enough physical activity. Fitness and physical activity habits established in childhood are key indicators for health in adulthood. Most children get more than the recommended limit of two hours of screen time per day.

38 Causes of the Epidemic Source: White House Task Force on Childhood Obesity, Report to the President Other Contributing Factors: - Pre birth and genetic - Socioeconomic - Racial and ethnic - Regional
