Obesity Among Children and Adolescents in Mexico
Introduction
Humans desire to have a healthy life free from any medical-related conditions. Obesity
is prevalent within society, and it is defined as excess body fat within an affected individual.
The disease can be self-diagnosed, self-treated, and its existence can be temporary or be
lifelong depending on how the affected will handle the situation. one becomes obese if their
body mass index is greater than 30. The current increase indicates that approximately 11% of
the global population is obese. Of this, 39 million children were graded as obese. Overweight
accounts for 1.9 billion individuals and this number can easily be turned into obese if no
interventions are applied (Friedrich, M. J., 2017). In the case of Mexico, it is graded as the most
obese country in the world. 73% of the population are overweight, 16.7% of preschool children
are obese, 26.2% of children and 30.9% of teenagers are obese. Adults' obesity stands at 29.9%,
34% of this population are morbidly obese (Aceves-Martins et al., 2021). The existence of
obesity within society has its causes, impact, and possible interventions that should be adopted.

and increase the condition within society. This paper aims to analyze the causes of obesity
among Mexican children and teenagers, the impact of obesity within society, and the possible
solution.

calories through being active, weight gain will be the outcome (Rodríguez-Ramírez et al.,
2011). The current society has also embraced fast foods, mainly junk, rich in empty calories,
which influences rapid weight gain. In the case of Mexico, the use of soft drinks is embraced
within society. Over the decades, the consumption of soft drinks has doubled among children

and adolescents. In the same period, the rate of obesity increased by 40% in children (AcevesMartins et al., 2021). The use of soft drinks and other fast foods can thus be attributed to the
rise in cases of obesity among adolescents.
The environment in which one resides influences health and, in this case, the rate of
obesity. Environment impacts how one will be able to manage their weight. The setting of the
environment helps to provide natur...
