The rate of U.S. kids with obesity jumped to 22% in 2020, a new study warns.
"Health care providers should provide counseling and evidence-based programs to support families to adopt a healthier lifestyle," Staiano said."Insurance companies should follow the Affordable Care Act to pay for these weight management services as a way to prevent debilitating and costly disease.""Parents and kids should talk to their doctors and school nurses to develop a healthy eating and activity plan that will work for their family," Staiano said.
"Civic leaders should incentivize grocery stores and corner stores with healthy food options to locate in food deserts and also ensure walking trails and public parks and playgrounds are safe and well maintained," she added. These new data show that obesity gets worse not mysteriously, but because our society has never made any serious effort to fix it, Katz said.
