Prevention of lifestyle-related diseases in school children
Journal Title: Journal of Analytical Bio-Science - Year 2011, Vol 34, Issue 5
Abstract
Lifestyle-related diseases, including dyslipidaemia, hypertension, hyperinsulinaemia, and obesity, are recognized as major risk factors for cardiovascular disease in adults. There is convincing evidence that lifestyle-related diseases have their origins in childhood. Lifestyle changes, such as diet and level of physical activity, are fundamental requirements for the prevention of these diseases. The majority of lipid, glucose, and uric acid metabolic disorders in children can be managed with diet and lifestyle modification. The prevention of lifestyle-related diseases and health education for school children require a network consisting of home, school, community, clinic, and laboratory studies.
