The Problem
Childhood obesity is one of the most urgent public health threats facing our country. Today, more than one-third of all children and adolescents in the United States—approximately 25 million kids—are overweight or obese. The epidemic already is affecting our kids’ health and quality of life in ways we’ve never seen before. Children are being diagnosed with conditions previously considered “adult” illnesses, such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension. They also suffer from bone and joint disorders, depression and poor self-esteem, and they’re at higher risk for cardiovascular disease, stroke and colon, kidney and breast cancers.
Estimates show that obesity costs our country up to $117 billion per year in direct health expenses and lost productivity. Childhood obesity alone carries a huge price tag—up to $14 billion per year in direct costs to treat children. If left unabated, the epidemic threatens to overwhelm and destabilize the nation’s health delivery and financing systems.
