Abstract:
Background: Obesity has emerged as a major public health problem across the globe. Unfortunately, all the efforts, to date, to treat obesity have limited success. Despite the increased publicity on health and economic consequences, its prevalence continues to rise, even in countries that were previously battling under-nutrition. The annual weight gain which may lead to obesity if it remains uncontrolled, is small, averaging 0.7-1.0kg/year. Aiming to halt this small weight gain could be a solution towards combating the obesity epidemic and thus reduce its prevalence. One of the critical life st

Abstract:
Public health campaigns might not be universally helpful and could have detrimental consequences. The current investigation explored the effects of obesity prevention campaigns. Their impact was assessed using an experiment in which participants were randomized to view either weight focused obesity prevention campaigns or obesity prevention campaigns that did not use weight related terms. Results demonstrated that compared with campaigns without weight related terminology, weight focused campaigns increased negative perceptions of obesity and decreased self-efficacy for health behavior change.

The proportion of overweight and obese children in England has increased considerably since 1995. One in five children starting reception class is now overweight or obese. Proposed reasons for this are numerous and indeterminate. They include infant feeding methods, genetics, change in eating habits and patterns, and increased sedentary behaviours. The preschool years are considered to be an optimal time to intervene in an attempt to reverse this trend. However, interventions to prevent or treat overweight in preschool-age children in the UK are scarce, with most research being conducted in th
