The fastest rising public health problem in our nation is overweight and obesity. Over the past two decades, the percentage of overweight children has almost doubled and the percentage of overweight adolescents has almost tripled. Young people who are overweight are at risk for numerous health problems and for being overweight or obese in adulthood. Research is showing that healthy lifestyle habits, including healthy eating and physical activity can lower the risk of becoming overweight and of developing related diseases. Advocacy and additional research is needed to help turn the overweight and obesity epidemic around.

520 $a The fastest rising public health problem in our nation is overweight and obesity. Over the past two decades, the percentage of overweight children has almost doubled and the percentage of overweight adolescents has almost tripled. Young people who are overweight are at risk for numerous health problems and for being overweight or obese in adulthood. Research is showing that healthy lifestyle habits, including healthy eating and physical activity can lower the risk of becoming overweight and of developing related diseases. Advocacy and additional research is needed to help turn the overweight and obesity epidemic around.
520 $a The purpose of this study was to determine if any changes in BMI and self-esteem among middle school students at the J. Larry Newton School in Fairhope, AL were a result of the mandatory nutrition guidelines as set forth in the new state school board-mandated Wellness Policy on Nutrition and Physical Activity of Baldwin County as of August 2006. A pilot study was performed at the J. Larry Newton School in May 2006. The actual study was performed during the 2006-2007 school year. Incorporating a control group for this study was not possible because of the nature of the mandated nutrition guidelines.
520 $a For the study, BMI measures and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Survey were administered to 143 students for the first three consecutive months of the implementation of the new nutrition guidelines. SPSS 13.0 software was used to calculate the data collected over the three-month study.
520 $a The results of the study indicated that there was no statistically significant change in BMI or self-esteem among students for the first three months of the school nutrition changes. This study is an indication of the need for future research including continued monitoring of overweight and obesity rates, associated health implications, and investigative studies to examine the causes of the escalating trend of becoming an obese nation. This study should precipitate further studies involving other schools and school systems.
