SAMPLE SOLUTION
Health Education Plan: Prevention and Management of Childhood Obesity
Various health concerns affect different population groups differently. In Australia, particular health issues adversely affect the healthcare outcomes in the nation. Primarily, obesity is one of the most significant health concerns affecting individuals of all ages. However, school going children between the ages of 5 and 17 years depict significant vulnerability to this concern. Obese children have a high risk of being obese while in their adulthood. Moreover, their chances of developing various preventable medical conditions are high. Aside increasing the risk of contracting cardiovascular illnesses, childhood obesity should be preventedbecause if it progresses to overweight in adulthood, it increases the risk of various cancer strains such as pancreatic, esophageal, and breast. According to the Department of Health (2017), about 25.8% of Australian children and young people were overweight by 2014. In this regard, those who were obese were 7.5% while 18.4 were overweight. Ideally, the increase in overweight and obesity increases with age as those aged 10 to 14 years had obesity and overweight rate of 37.4%. Furthermore, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) (2018) estimated that obesity and overweight accounted for 7% of the total burden of injuries and diseases in Australia as of 2011. In this regard, the burden comes about because of linked diseases that emerge when an individual becomes obese. Primarily, the goal of this paper is to provide a healthcare educational plan for preventing and managing childhood obesity in Australia.
Overview
Evidence indicates that incidences of obesity among children is on the rise. The condition is regarded as an undesirable statistic because obesity has both direct and indirect adverse effects on the population. Primarily, there exists evidence linking obesity to various cardiovascular illnesses, which is among the leading causes of death in Australia. Moreover, management of obesity and related conditions amount to significant economic burden for most Australians as well as the economy (AIHW, 2018). According to Kim, Després, and Koh (2016), obesity is not only a public health problem in Australia, but all over the world. Principally, the issue is associated with changing lifestyles especially at the advent of modernity. Therefore, as per Channel (2015), obesity is a non-communicable illness that can be prevented and managed using non-medical approaches. In this regard, being physically active and eating healthy are among the best approaches for managing overweight, especially in school going children. Usually, these factors are referredto as lifestyle changes (Dankel, Loenneke, & Loprinzi, 2015). Obesity management, especially among children, is ideal because it reduces the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular illnesses, and chronic kidney. According to the department of health (2017), physical activity should be the leading approach utilized in preventing overweight. In this regard, children aged 5 to 17 should have a minimum of 60 minutes of physical activity each day. Primarily, this health promotion focuses on increasing physical activity and diet awareness among school going children with a significant focus in Parramatta, Sydney.
