Obesity is a major public health issue in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over one-third of adults are obese with rates ranging from 30.7% in Colorado to 39.5% in Mississippi (CDC, 2020). Additionally, obesity is also becoming increasingly prevalent among children and adolescents with 18.5 % of 6-11 year olds and 20.6% of 12-19 year olds classified as obese (Ogden et al., 2016). These alarming numbers highlight the need for effective strategies aimed at reducing this growing epidemic.
The social determinants of health such as poverty, education levels and access to healthcare play an important role when it comes to obesity rates. For example, those living in low income neighborhoods often have limited access to fresh fruits and vegetables which can lead them to become overweight or even obese (Ludwig & Sanbonmatsu 2014). Similarly, individuals who lack financial resources may not be able to afford gym memberships or healthy food options making it difficult for them maintain healthy lifestyles.
Through community health assessments we can gain valuable insights into what areas require immediate attention when it comes addressing this issue. This could include assessing local nutrition policies and evaluating existing recreation centers or parks to determine if they meet the needs of their communities (Frieden et al., 2017). The data collected through these assessments provides us with key information that can be used to craft long term plans targeting specific areas that need improvement.
Therefore, by combining both quantitative data along with qualitative research methods we are better equipped tackle the problem of obesity while simultaneously helping create healthier communities.
Individuals who had an unfavorably susceptible response to this medicine ought to stay away from it since it can cause a day to day existence threating response.
