numerous subcategories.
Spotlight: Adolescent Physical Activity and Nutrition
Adolescents’ health status, as well as their health-related eating and activity behaviors can impact their well-being and their health during their adult years. The goal of the BodyWorks program, developed by the Office on Women’s Health, is to help parents and caregivers of adolescents promote healthy eating and physical activity within their families in order to prevent poor health outcomes and maintain health status for adolescents. 1 BodyWorks equips parents and caregivers of adolescents with tools and training that can guide and enable monitoring of progress towards healthy eating and physical activity goals.
Quick Health Data Online offers many different types of data related to adolescent health, nutrition and physical activity, including information on:
- Youth eating fruit/vegetables and drinking milk,
- Youth participating in sports teams or physical education classes,
- Youth who are overweight or obese, and
- Youth who meet recommended levels of physical activity.
Data on the system are provided for males and females with race and ethnicity details to enable comparisons between different population
groups. Data can be used to generate charts such as these, which present percentages of youth
who are overweight or obese
, the percent of youth
who have met recommended levels of physical activity
, and the percentage of youth
who report eating five or more fruit and vegetables per day
and those who report drinking three or more glasses of milk per day
.
