¶ … Obesity in Children Birth to 18 Years-of-Age From Lower Socio-Economic Status Compared to Children Birth to 18 Years-of-Age From Upper and Middle Socio-Economic Status? Research Proposal
Research indicates that children from lower socio-economic status are more likely than children from higher socio-economic status to develop childhood obesity, which makes these children more likely to develop health problems later in life. For this reason, childhood obesity is a significant problem. The research proposed in this study is one that recommends that this issue be examined in a research study.
The Prevalence of Obesity in Children Birth to 18 Years-Of-Age From Lower Socio-Economic Status Compared to Children Birth to 18 Years-Of-Age From Upper and Middle Socio-Economic Status?
Research Proposal
Introduction
There is a great dearth of research that indicates that children from lower socio-economic households have a greater risk of developing obesity during their childhood than children from middle and upper socio-economic households. (Gibbs and Forste, 2013; Ogden, et al., 2008; Singh and Kogan, 2009; Cecil, et al., 2005; Gearhart, Gruber, and Vanata, 2008) Various factors have been cited as the cause for childhood obesity stated to include such as levels of education, household income and lower levels of physical activity combined with poor nutritional intake and some psychosocial factors. Lower socio-economic status is also linked to lower levels of consciousness concerning healthy living practices.
Problem Statement
Children from lower socio-economic status households are more likely to develop obesity compared to children from middle and upper socio-economic status households.
Research Question
The research questions in this study is as follows:
Is obesity more prevalent in children ages' birth to 18 years from lower socio-economic status than children from upper/middle social-economic status? If yes:
(1) What are the variables that result in obesity being more prevalent among children from birth to 18 years of age from lower socio-economic status than children from upper/middle socio-economic status?
(2) What interventions can be used to...
America's Diet The typical American diet is one high in sugars and processed foods. Accordingly, The United States has earned the unfortunate nickname of "Fast-food Nation."

The United States as a country is truly a melting pot for cultures, religions, ethnicities and
Comparative Analysis of Global Healthcare Various governments across the globe are tasked with the responsibility of providing healthcare to the citizens. Their economic status and models influence the quality of care provided. This has resulted in the disparities in quality from country to another with some countries acting as case studies to be emulated. The following study is a comparative analysis of three healthcare systems around the world with a focus
Topic � Fetal Nutrition and its Effects on Adult Health and DiseaseFetal nutrition has become a very contentious and pervasive issue with American society. For one, supply chain disruptions have caused extreme shortages of baby formula throughout the United States.

GTD includes hydatidiform mole or HM and choriocarcinoma. HM develops complications of pregnancy and the main factor to choriocarcinoma, which is a highly malignant cancer. HM starts during fertilization and is either complete or partial, according to histopathologic and cytogenetic criteria. In a complete HM, there is no embryo, no umbilical cord and no amniotic membranes. The chorionic villi of the trophoblastic tissues and chromosomal constitution are all abnormal. Published
Patients With Type 2 Diabetes I --all-natural, all-organic, locally grown/produced diet plus exercise C --insulin injections O --reduction in body's challenge to create/absorb insulin In patients experiencing Type 2 diabetes (P), is the intervention of a traditional, organic, all-natural diet consisting of locally grown and produced foods plus exercise (I) more effective in curbing the body's challenge to absorb insulin (O) than insulin injections (C)? There is an educational deficit in the clinic where
Polycarbonate with Bisphenol a (#7) is found in water bottles and scientists have linked very low doses of it to cancers, early onset of puberty, obesity, diabetes, hyperactivity, impaired immune function, among a myriad of other problems (2011). Some of the recommendations that are offered by the Ecology Center (2011) are to buy one's food in glass or metal containers as opposed to plastic ones. Avoiding polycarbonate drinking bottles that
