Cancer Prevention Through Policy Interventions That Alter Childhood Disparities in Energy Balance

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Impact of Energy Balance on Cancer Disparities

Part of the book series: Energy Balance and Cancer ((EBAC,volume 9))

Abstract

Dramatic increases in obesity and cancer risk are more pronounced across various socially disadvantaged populations (Dixon et al., Adv Nutr 3(1):73–82, 2012). These disparities have their beginnings in early childhood with devastating effects that track into adulthood. The purpose of this chapter is to describe the (1) prevalence of obesity disparities in youth, (2) social determinants and dimensions of obesity disparities, (3) influences on stages of obesity development, and (4) role and types of policies designed to prevent obesity disparities in young children. The need to behaviorally disrupt the intergenerational cycle of obesity that begins in early life is discussed. How socioeconomic, sociocultural, living and working conditions, and life course exposures influence this cycle is addressed. The role of evidence-based policies, and their impact across target environments where children spend time, is presented.
