Children and adolescents who are overweight or obese are at increased risk for developing diabetes and heart disease; they are also likely to stay overweight or obese into adulthood, placing them at increased risk for serious chronic diseases. Differences in SDoH contribute to the stark and persistent chronic disease disparities in the United States among racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups, systematically limiting opportunities for members of some groups to be healthy. The risk for obesity is not evenly distributed across racial/ethnic and socioeconomic groups and we know little about how obesity risk differs according to experiences in important life settings or how experiences accumulate over the life course to influence adult obesity. Although the prevalence of obesity is high among all US population groups, substantial disparities exist among racial/ethnic minorities and vary on the basis of age, sex, and socioeconomic status. Determinants of health reach beyond the boundaries of traditional health care and public health sectors; sectors such as education, housing, transportation, agriculture, and enviro 4 Our health In England, the prevalence of obesity in children aged 210 years is around 13% and the prevalence of overweight including obesity Nurse practitioners are in a position to increase awareness to obesity by screening, diagnosing obesity, providing treatment plans, Social determinants of health are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age.
