Unfavorable diet and lack of physical activity are frequently underlying childhood and juvenile obesity. Recommendations for physical activity advise children under school age to move at least two hours per day and children of school age at least 1 to 2 hours per day. The fact that these recommendations are, however, not met among Finnish children, is reflected in physical activity also in adulthood. Immobility and obesity often develop into a mutually reinforcing vicious circle that predisposes to an increasingly early appearance of cardiometabolic risk factors.
不良饮食和缺乏体育活动常常是儿童和青少年肥胖的潜在原因。体育活动建议指出，学龄前儿童每天至少活动两小时，学龄儿童每天至少活动1至2小时。然而，芬兰儿童并未达到这些建议标准，这一情况在成年人的体育活动中也有所体现。缺乏运动和肥胖常常形成一个相互强化的恶性循环，使得心血管代谢危险因素越来越早地出现。
