Introduction
Non-communicable disease is not contagious, though; such diseases sometimes are associated with unhealthy life style that can be spread quite impressively among the people of the area. In this study, overweight and obesity is taken to be cured and pupils are targeted for this. Bundanoon public school, Bundanoon, is the target place for this study that is planning for the reduction of non-communicable disease like obesity and overweight.
Demography of Bundanoon Primary School and Su
ounding Community
Bundanoon Public School is on the land of Dharawal and Gundungu
a people and it is the most popular school in that area. Students and staffs are well attached as pupil can express their interest and share their problems to their teachers and staffs. The teachers are very caring and highly qualified; hence, it possesses a nurturing environment. This is a co-education school and students attend all the events like debating and speaking in public, choir, chess club and many other competitions like camping, sporting clinics, competitions and many others. This school provide the every opportunity to students and focus on personal growth by em
acing the respect value, safety and the value of responsibility (Connell, Dufty-Jones & Connell, 2016).
This practice reveals a highly balanced and quality education for the students. Community involvement is the fundamental part of this school and parents are the most important person for the evaluation of each events. The main motto of the school is the creativeness and the imagination that basically captures the environment of the school. Around 2500 residents of Southern Highland are associated with this school (NSW Government, 2018). The students in the school are not maintaining a proper balanced diet and hence they are gaining weight; in some cases, it is quite serious in girls specially. According to Bhurosy and Jeewon (2014), it has been found through the survey that the girls are more prone to do indoor game and they do not go for the playground whereas boys are likely to play in ground.
After the school time, they are taking junk foods and it especially in girls though boys are discussing about their game and hence they are not being interested in such kind of food. However, it does not satisfy with all the boys. Bundanoon is situated in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales and the population is 2,729 according to the 2016 census. There is 13.8 percent population belongs to children those are under 15 (NSW Government, 2018). People with 65 years or above constitutes of 36 percent population. This area is under unemployment and the percentage of employment is 49.6 percent (Department of Health, 2014). 1078 people of the total population were reported as working in labour force.
Most of the people living in Bundanoon were native Australian and then some of them were from England, Germany and from New Zeeland. Among these people, 29.4 percent belongs to no religion category whereas 27.4 percent are Anglican and 18.7 percent are Catholic (Department of Health, 2014). It is been found that the community su
ounding the school is full of junk food shop and hence the local people are more prone to have such junk foods.
There are others problems that include air pollution and toxication due to burning the piles of ga
age and this town especially in South Highland is been highlighted as a highly toxic area, which is the outskirts of the village. This is the rising problem of Bundanoon, though; government has denoted that it, as a very dangerous as well as illegal act (Department of Health, 2014). The piles including vegetation, building materials, commercial items, household materials and timber is not only harming the human being it also is the cause of harmful effect of animals.
Epidemiology and Aetiology of Obesity as well as Overweight in Pupils
A proper energy balance and calorie consumption is the fundamental part of being healthy and overweight causes a problem of being unhealthy. A healthy overweight person is not fit for these days at least. A person stock fat in their body when more calories are being abso
ed than the energy is being used. According to Vidgen et al. (2018), reduction of calorie intake with the increase of physical activity gives a negative balance and results loss of weight. Even if it is admitted that the actual cause of obesity is the misbalanced between energy intake and energy loss and hence, it should be learnt properly how to manage a balanced diet and how to maintain it.
It is found that between 1981 and 2004, the intake of daily calorie is increasing by 17 percent, which shows the intake 381 calories per day (World Health Organisation (WHO), 2014). The maintenance of healthy weight is difficult when one is being influenced by the environment and it depends on the physiological, community, behavioural as well as environmental problem. The energy balance is very essential for the development of a proper maintained diet as well as implementation of the effective planning and treatment programmes. As per the idea of Slevin et al. (2014), a significant advancement has been occu
ed to unravel the complication about obesity. There are multiple systems that regulate the homeostasis of energy regulation.
Recent study suggests that there are multiple systems that regulate energy homeostasis that is a very familiar clustering of the overweight among those monozygotic twins that provide a strong evidence of genetic component, which is linked to human obesity. The interaction between known homeostatic mechanisms can recognise a new thought and it can place these domains into the context that describes the human-environmental interaction. According to De Henauw et al. (2015), the epidemic of obesity and overweight is not the result of overnight consumption of food or the miss of balanced diet for one day; rather it is a condition where a prolonged habit results the condition of obesity and overweight.
This condition is a chronic stage of many disease like...
