Collaboration for Kids

We are Collaboration for Kids (CFK), an ambitious, scientific, evidence-based project of voluntary collaboration between parents, carers, children of all ages, education professionals, doctors, dentists, nurses, researchers, academics, nutritionists and more. Why is CFK important? There is an ever increasing incidence of obesity and chronic disease amongst children and the CFK project aims to develop programmes and interventions that work, to help tackle this epidemic. Our children need help! - A quarter of 4-5 year olds and almost one in two (41%) of 10-11 year olds are overweight/obese in the UK (NHS Digital, 2021) - Obese children are more likely to become obese adults with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, Type 2 diabetes and some cancers - Over 60% of children’s diets come from ultra-processed foods in the UK (Chang et al, 2021) For more information visit our website at https://the-chc.org/ selecting the 'Collaboration for Kids' page, or follow us on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/collaborationforkids/mycompany/?viewAsM... and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555384664615
