Some Social Factors like Engagement in Smoking Habits and Physical

Question: Discuss About Some Social Factors Like Engagement In Smoking Habits And Physical? Answer: Introducation: In the first article by Han et al., 2015, the effects of socioeconomic factors on lifestyle, especially the development of obesity. The variation in the environment, basically the social and economic factors determine the amount and composition of the food that a specified population eats. This, therefore, has got effects to their likelihood of developing obesity of becoming overweight. In this article, the author determined the relationship between the social and economic factors versus waist circumference and basal metabolic rate in young men. The study supports the fact that some social and economic lifestyles predispose men to the high basal metabolic rate linked to obesity. Moreover, some social factors like engagement in smoking habits and low physical exercises determine the fat distribution all over their bodies in young men. As Linke et al., 2016 argues, there is a positive correlation between social habits like smoking and development of obesity. This is a clear indication that in low socioeconomic status, the diet composition is not paid much attention because people cannot afford a balanced diet. In the end, they consume sugary, fatty and carbohydrate filed foods which increase their body metabolic index at early ages. The socioeconomic status of people may exist in an inverse manner, whereby obesity was high in rich men and uneducated women. This is because the rich men are too busy to take a balanced diet and may opt for fast foods and less physical activity, while uneducated women have no knowledge of nutrient composition in a diet. In the second article by Sacks et al., 2015, the role of advertisements in the popularity of unhealthy foods in the market is. The author indicates that most of the unhealthy foods non-communicable in the market is not healthy and can cause risks of obesity development. The popularity of such foods is due to the advertisements which are made in the public domain, indicating their increased popularity. In other cases, these advertisements offer promotions and discounted prices, a strategy which attracts most consumers. The popularity of these foods is because they sell very fast and are easy to prepare, hence the providers make huge profits. However, the media is blamed for the nature of their advertisements which increases the popularity of these foods. The government is thus tasked with regulating the nature of the advertisement content. I believe that it's true that most companies do not adhere to the advertisement policies in respective countries. As a result, the popularity of so me of these foods which are termed as junk foods' are linked to non communicable diseases like obesity among children. The government is thus tasked with ensuring that the advertisement of such foods among the children is regulated. This will help in curbing of these diseases early enough to prevent the government expenditure on treatment and management of these diseases later in life. In the third article, by Lobstein et al., 2015, the issues discussed are the seriousness of adolescent and childhood obesity globally. The facts presented indicate that in the USA the childhood obesity has increased within a short time. A similar case is reported for the low-income countries where under nutrition is very high. In this case, I believe that the economic status does not play a major role in childhood and adolescent obesity development. As a result, it is likely that nutrition composition and the state of physical activity plays a major role in the prevalence of obesity. Therefore any efforts made to counter the development of obesity should target to encourage the consumption of balanced diet, avoid junk foods and engagement in physical activities. The governments globally are also tasked with regulating the marketing and distribution of some nutrient poor foods like fast foods and breast substitute among others. As Mura et al., 2015 advocates for physical activities to be adopted in schools so as to counter the possible development of obesity and other lifestyle diseases. In my view, I would recommend that feeding programs be introduced in schools so that the nutritional quality of the food consumed by children and adolescents can be controlled from a single point. In the fourth article by Tyrrell, J., et al., 2016, the interplay of various socioeconomic factors and height and body mass index which in turn may predispose person to obesity is discussed. The socioeconomic contribution of body mass index and height of an individual is determined using the Mendelian randomization method. Thus the body mass index and height have a critical function in predicting the social and economic position of a person. For instance, the author reported that the body mass index predicts deprivation and income for women, while the height determines the job class, education, and income in men. However, I disagree with this argument because there is some heights and body mass index which have an inverse effect on the socioeconomic factors. It is possible to find tall women who have a high income while men who are rich or poor can be tall or short and have either a high or low body mass index. References Han, T.
