00:00While we're still young, we teach our children to eat properly for their good health.
00:12The World Health Organization takes care of the abundance of obese children in the Western Pacific region,
00:19including the Philippines.
00:21This is Bernadette Reyes with the latest news.
00:24Obesity is one of the most serious health challenges affecting all countries in the Western Pacific region, including the Philippines.
00:38According to the WHO, in 2022, 8.2 million children under 5 years old were overweight in the Western Pacific region,
00:48which is higher than 7.7 million in 2012.
00:52The Philippines is one of the countries that has recorded an increase in the number of obesity in the so-called age group.
00:57If you see the reports, we are monitoring the obesity in children.
01:03Alarming, it is rapidly increasing.
01:08That will result in the NCD, when the adolescent was young children.
01:15So this is alarming.
01:18The increase shifting to NCD, aging, and then increasing use of the tobacco, alcohol, and environmental factors.
01:29In addition to obesity, the consumption of alcohol and tobacco are risk factors for non-communicable diseases,
01:36such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer, which, according to the report,
01:41accounts for almost 9 out of 10 causes of death in the region.
01:45This is a change from infectious diseases, which are usually the cause of illness and death.
01:51You know, the processed food, unhealthy food are much, much cheaper than the healthy food.
01:58And if you go and look for healthy stuff, they are the most expensive and it's difficult to get.
02:02I think it's a multifactorial issue.
02:05It needs a whole of common, whole of society approaches.
