Health Challenges Faced by Obese Children
Obese children face a range of health challenges, from an increased risk of developing diseases like diabetes and heart disease in the future to issues such as childhood asthma. Statistics show that overweight children are more likely to become overweight adults. However, losing weight and becoming healthier early on can significantly reduce these risks.
One health issue that is often overlooked when considering childhood obesity is the potential for arthritis and joint problems. While it is well-known that overweight adults have a higher chance of developing arthritis, knee issues, and other joint problems, these concerns apply to obese children as well.
When a child is obese, their bones and joints endure extra weight for a longer duration compared to adults who become overweight later in life. In severely obese children, this excess weight can cause abnormal bone and joint development.
As children's joints are still growing, additional pressure can lead to severe problems. Even if their growth is unaffected, carrying extra weight still poses challenges. Most arthritis results from years of joint wear. For children who are overweight, this wear begins earlier, increasing the risk of early arthritis and other joint conditions.
Chronic issues with the ankles and knees can arise at a young age. A particularly serious condition obese children face is slipped capital femoral epiphyses (SCFE), a painful hip condition requiring surgery to prevent joint damage. This condition is more common in obese individuals than those of a healthy weight.
Asthma is another concern linked to childhood obesity. If an overweight child develops asthma, they may face greater difficulties in managing the condition. Physical activities like exercise and play can trigger asthma attacks, and being overweight means they may become breathless more quickly, increasing the likelihood of attacks.
For an overweight child, the fear of an asthma attack can make exercising challenging, hindering weight loss and exacerbating existing issues. This cycle of inactivity and weight gain is problematic.
Depression is also more prevalent in obese children. A child's self-esteem and confidence are often closely tied to body image. Feelings of frustration about being overweight can lead to depression, complicating weight loss efforts. Addressing obesity can help improve these mental health challenges.
