After reviewing the community vitality data I have come to the conclusion that the health issue that a health education program would be most appropriate to address would be nutritional health and childhood fitness. I came to this conclusion after careful analysis of the data. 77% of county adults (18+) eat fewer than five servings of fruits and vegetables per day, this percentage is so high likely due to the attitudes and habits these adults acquired when they were children. The second largest demographic in the county is that children ages 10 to 17 are overweight, 6% higher than the state average, 88% of children ages 10 to 17 are not meeting daily goals of consumption of fruit and vegetables and 30% between 10 and 17 years. watching 3 or more hours of television per day, also 6% more than the state average. Children who eat less of healthy foods, which are often low in iron, vitamin content and have a higher fat content, are at greater risk for poor nutritional habits, iron deficiency anemia and chronic diseases such as diabetes , hypertension, etc. (USDHHS, 2000). Mass media and hectic lifestyles also play an important role in the poor food choices of today's children, and frequent television viewing prominently features children's foods, which contain large amounts of salt, sugar and calories and a correlation between television viewing times and childhood obesity. was shown. (Proctor, 2003) Another problem is that many school-age children prefer only a small range of foods and do not like vegetables, fruits and other healthy foods. A child's nutritional pattern can also serve as a strong indicator of family patterns and show how influential parents can be when it comes to their children's well-being. Services.
