Feb 27, 2025
As the new semester begins, students' health care is important. Immunity is likely to decline as more indoor life increases during vacation, and stress generated in the process of adapting to the new environment can also affect health.
The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has guided children and adolescents' health-related recommendations for the start of school.
As group life begins in earnest, the risk of spreading infectious diseases increases, and there are concerns about allergies due to school meals and environmental changes, asthma risks due to increased fine dust, nutritional imbalance problems and obesity due to increased eating out. In addition, the risk of safety accidents such as school traffic accidents and bicycle accidents may increase, so preventive measures are also important. It is time for comprehensive health management, such as nutrition management, maintenance of a good environment, mental health management, and prevention of safety accidents, as well as prevention of infectious diseases.
In particular, the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention emphasized 'obesity management' and urged caution against excessive intake of 'Ultra Processed Food (UPF)'.
As school starts, meal times become irregular due to busy schedules such as schools and academies, and there is a tendency to prefer easy-to-eat meals. In addition, carbonated drinks, snacks, and instant foods have become popular snacks among students, which can naturally increase their intake in peer groups.
According to a study by the National Institute of Health of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, obese children and adolescents who consume a lot of ultra-high official foods such as beverages, instant foods, and fast food have an increased risk of metabolic diseases. In the group with high consumption of super-processed foods, 44.8% of daily energy was obtained from super-processed foods, which had a 1.75-fold risk of 'fat liver' and a 2.44-fold higher risk of 'insulin resistance'. In particular, the risk of moderate or higher fatty liver, where more than 10% of fat accumulates in the liver, has been confirmed to increase by 4.19 times.
Fatty liver can cause inflammation by accumulating excessive fat in the liver, and insulin resistance, which is a condition in which insulin increases excessively in the blood due to poor blood sugar control, risks diabetes, so obesity and proper diet management are important from an early age.
The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention "To reduce children and adolescents' intake of ultra-high-tech foods and prevent obesity and metabolic diseases, it is necessary to encourage regular meals and the use of fresh ingredients at home, and to expand education on proper eating habits and the provision of healthy meals and healthy snacks in the canteen."Children with social interest, such as reducing sitting time and increasing exercise time?We should try to make sure that teenagers can live a healthy life," he said.
