Dietary habits determining the occurrence of obesity among adolescents

Abstract

We carried out a survey of 122 adolescents who were diagnosed with obesity. The questionnaire included questions regarding diet, feeding behavior of the child. Diet of understudy children have shifted away from healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables to a much greater reliance on fast food, processed snack foods, and sugary drinks. Thus nutritional management plays an important role in both treatment and prevention of obesity and its complications.
