Americans Concerned Over Inactive, Obese Children - Len Saunders

From Michigan Radio?..

People in the United States are more concerned about the physical fitness of their community?s children than any other health issue.

That was the finding of a University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children?s Hospital poll on children?s health.

When asked about the nation?s most pressing childhood health concerns, 39 percent of adults listed ?not enough exercise,? trailed by ?childhood obesity? with 38 percent.

In a press advisory released from from Mott Children?s Hospital today, Doctor Matthew M. Davis said:

?Childhood obesity remains a top concern, and adults know it is certainly linked to lack of exercise. The strong perception that lack of exercise is a threat to children?s health may reflect effective recent public health messages from programs such as First Lady Michelle Obama?s ?Let?s Move? campaign.?
