For Sydnie: Week 7

Percent Body Fat and Chronic Disease Risk Factors in U.S. Children and Youth is an academic study that shows the risk factors among children and youth.  They found a strong relationship between high fat percentage found in children and high risk for high blood pressure, glucose, insulin, and cholesterol levels. I think this will help you in your research because it shows the high risk factors of childhood obesity.

  1. Thank you! I was scanning through this article and i did like how there were a lot of charts and graphs to relate findings too. Percent body fat and high blood pressure should not be taken lightly and this article fully explains that.
