Research Memo 2

            What causes does obesity have while you have obesity and over time effects of obesity? I changed my research topic because I could not find any answer to my question before in which was which of the causes of obesity impact teenagers the most. Throughout my research in looking at these articles, I got that diabetes type 2 is normally an adult disease but is becoming much more common in teens today (Article 3). I also found out that the when you get obesity there is a chance that you could have breathing problems as well as sleeping problems (Article 1). One long-term affect is that you could get dementia (Article 4). Dementia is a disease where you forget what commonly used things that you use on a regular basis are used for. Once you are obese, I found out that it is hard to get a person to get healthier and start going in the direction to getting healthy. I found this out by finding out that when you start to eat too much that your brain starts wanting to keep eating more and more (Article 2). This often leads to depression however, because people start getting self-conscientious about their weight but cannot lose the weight because of the habit they have of eating all that food.

            Children who have diabetes should exercise at least sixty minutes each day, as well as normal children too. (Article 3) If everyone exercises then we should not be having trouble with people getting obese.


This chart shows that 33% of all people in America are obese.



This chart represents how much people in each group are obese out of all the people like them. (According to Article 3.)
