FINDINGS








OUR FINDINGS by: Miss Pilar

After reading and investigating about the topic of Obesity we learned that:


Overweight and obesity result from an energy imbalance.

One important fact about obesity is that it is caused by eating too many calories and not getting enough physical activity.

Body weight is the result of genes, metabolism, behavior, environment, culture, and socioeconomic status.

We also learned that behavior and environment play a large role causing children and adults to be overweight and obese.

 We found out that there are also health consequences caused by excess weight like:

Coronary heart diseases
Diabetes type 2
Cancers (endometrial, breast and colon)
Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Strokes
Gynecological problem
