This study describes the dramatic rise in childhood obesity within the United States and explores the influence of elementary-school programs on the number of overweight children or on those at risk for overweight status. The relationship between the prevalence of overweight status in children at the elementary-school level and the amount of time these students spend in physical activity and education related to a healthy lifestyle during the school day, available playground equipment, and school lunches is explored. This study also examines the relationship between overweight status in kindergarten and third-grade students and their academic achievement. The findings indicate that school lunches, the ethnic makeup of schools, and the percentage of students participating in the free or reduced lunch program are all associated with incidence rates of overweight children within these age-groups. The study also found that school playgrounds and nutrition-and-health instruction are often inadequate. An association was also found between overweight status in elementary-school students and low performance on the standardized test determining the readiness to learn and acquired learning for kindergarten and third-grade children.
