Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Health - Children and adolescents, University of Phoenix, language: English, abstract: This paper analyses whether fast food contributes to childhood obesity. Obesity is a multi-factorial disorder comprising genetic, dietary, conduct, and ecological components. The expanded eating of energy-dense poor nutrient diets with high saturated fats and sugar levels joined with diminished physical activity, have prompted high corpulence rates among kids.

The results in this new study support evidence that fast-foods adds to a high intake of calories and obesity risk in kids.
