CAUSES AND IMPACTS OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY
Introduction
The two research topics I am interested in vary completely. They are in the field of
psychiatry and behavioral science, and food and eating disorders. These two include the anxiety
disorder and childhood obesity respectively. Anxiety disorders are a group of mental illnesses
that cause distress and keep their victims from carrying on with their lives normally ( The
National Institute of Mental Health 42). It often gets disabling for people who struggle with
constant fear and worry. Types of anxiety disorders include Panic disorder, Social anxiety
disorder, phobias, and generalized disorder, and phobias. Common symptoms for all types of
anxiety disorders are such as irritability, sweating, headaches, loss of sleep, nausea, and the
shortage of breath (Abbyl). It is however manageable with relevant treatment.
My preferred research topic was on childhood obesity as I was more interested in finding
out its cause and prevention strategies.

changes that result in a healthy weight.
Childhood obesity is becoming a large problem not only in the United States but also in
the world at large (Abbyl). The obesity epidemic poses a public health challenge across the
world. The dramatic increase in the prevalence of obesity in children is a major concern.
National Center for Chronic Sicknesses Prevention and Health Promotion, obesity in children
has tripled over the past thirty ages by rising from 6.5% to 19.6% between 1980 and 2008
(Stuckey).
Childhood obesity affects not only children but also adolescents. Obese children weigh
above their age and height. Childhood obesity has significant psychological and physical health
effects including risks to cardiovascular diseases. Other risks associated with c...
