TO STUDY THE CORRELATION BETWEEN JUNK FOOD AND OBESITY IN

AGE GROUP (10-15 YRS) IN THE SELECTED AREAS OF INDORE DISTRICT
BACKGROUND

INTRODUCTION

Junk food consumption and its consequences has become a major public health concern globally because of its deteriorating
health consequences and surging prevalence. Though its adverse health consequences are widely prevalent in all age groups,
children and adolescents are more at risk. It may lead to obesity and act as a risk factor for different non-communicable
diseases (NCD's) like heart diseases, cardiovascular disease, cancer, hypertension, diabetes, etc.

According to WHO more than 300 million children 5-19 Yrs of age were overweight or obese in 2016.

Obesity has been declared an epidemic that does not discriminate based on age, gender, or ethnicity and thus needs urgent
containment and management.

Adolescence is a significant period of physical, social, and emotional development.

Furthermore, access to this palatable diet attenuated the physiological effects of acute stress (restraint), indicating that it
could act as a comfort food.
