< P >Infantile obesity has become a public health scourge. The idea of ​​the two deputies may seem trivial, but it raises the question of the lack of current data on the situation. “It is incredible that, in a country like France, we have no figures updated on such a health problem,” they deplored, before calling for a large-scale national study in 2028. < P > to slow down obesity, these two deputies would like to bet on the school. According to them, the generalization of physical capacity tests, already experienced in certain schools, could help to reverse the trend. The drop in the respiratory capacity of children, noted by several doctors, testifies to the urgency of the situation. < P > A global relationship published in < EM > the Lancet At the beginning of March highlights the extent of the problem: by 2050, one in three children will be affected by obesity if nothing is done. To counter this threat, Proença and Meunier also recommend guaranteeing the three hours of weekly physical education in primary school, and bringing the schedule to four o'clock in college. “We must also fight against the systematic exemptions of EPS,” added Proenca, emphasizing the importance of a collective commitment of doctors for this prevention to become effective. < p > It would be a first step for public health, even if the subject is obviously wider than that. In addition to physical activity, you should also question the food of young people.
