Summary

OBESITY IN CHILDHOOD

I will perform my research by trying to find out the main factor that contributes to overweight in childhood. Of course, I will try to look for information about factors such as health statistics, nutrition, physical activities, gene, emotions, and other factors, if there are, that are considered major. Finally, for my contribution to the project, I will prepare a questionnaire that is distributed to young students (I hope two classrooms). Then, I will try to understand their habits and compare their answers with the arguments made by other authors that have written about the subject. If answers are different from what have been found by others, my research would worth something new that could be added to what is already known.
