Children can be at higher risk for various reasons:
Genetic Predisposition: Certain genetic mutations or family histories can increase the likelihood of developing conditions like asthma, diabetes, or congenital heart diseases. Environmental Factors: Exposure to pollutants, secondhand smoke, or poor living conditions can lead to respiratory issues and other health problems. Nutritional Deficiencies: Inadequate intake of essential nutrients can lead to malnutrition, anemia, and developmental delays. Pre-existing Conditions: Children with chronic illnesses like cystic fibrosis or immunodeficiencies are more susceptible to infections and complications. Lifestyle Choices: Lack of physical activity and poor diet can contribute to obesity, which is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
