Childhood obesity in the United States and internationally has become a wide spread public health catastrophe. Over the years childhood obesity has increased at a rapid pace. This paper will show the results of the data collection method, the data analysis procedure, and the conclusion of how to apply the background and methodology of the research process with the problems in health care, and apply the emphasis on childhood obesity.

The total number of childhood obesity cases for children in preschool between the ages of 2-5 for boys and girls increased from 5.0% to 10% between the years of 1976-1980. In the years 2007-2008 childhood obesity increased from 6.5% to 19.6% in children who were 6-11 years old. With the data that was collected during the same time period for adolescents aged 12-19 years old obesity increased from 5.0% to 18.1% (Karnik & Kaneka, 2012, p. 2).

Childhood obesity can be decreased with encouragement from the children’s parents. There needs to be an implementation of schools and governmental monitoring of the success or failure of the interventions. If interventions are not working then there should be a reevaluation of intervention to prevent childhood
