33% of teens face overweight issues
The results of the Global School Health Survey in Jordan revealed that 32.9% of students aged 13-17 are overweight or obese, with a obesity rate of 12.1% and a weight increase of 20.8%. It also showed that only 12% of students engage in physical activity for more than 60 minutes daily, and 31.5% do not participate in physical education classes. In response to these findings, the Ministry of Health has implemented measures to promote healthier choices in school canteens, including banning the sale of unhealthy foods and drinks such as chips, soft drinks, and energy drinks, and enhancing oversight of canteens through specialized committees. Additionally, efforts have been made to increase physical activity by ensuring regular physical education classes and encouraging school sports activities, with the aim of reducing the prevalence of overweight and obesity among students and improving the overall healthy environment of schools.
