A new study has come out in the "International Journal of Obesity", that "32 genes have been identified as risk factors for obesity" (International Journal of Obesity). Despite whatever genetic contributions attribute to obesity there has also been a "decreases in physical activity and increase in in the consumption of high-calorie convenience foods" (Bee, 221). Whatever 32 genes may apply to risk factors of obesity, we as a society must do a better job of teaching children the importance of exercise and eating healthy. looking at figure 9.1 (Bee, 221), the graph shows an increase of children in the 95 percentile of BMI over the last 50 years. As much research that has been done to prevent and find reasoning for childhood obesity, what it comes down to is making sure that children of future generations are taught the importance of exercising and eating right so they have less health risks when they get older.
