Primordial Prevention of Non Communicable Disease

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 1121))

Abstract

Childhood obesity is one of the major public health problems. Childhood obesity mostly remains in adulthood and lead to non communicable diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular diseases at a younger age. Therefore, childhood obesity prevention needs high priority. Several risk factors including genetic factor, unhealthy dietary habits, physical inactivity related to childhood obesity.
