You can say either prevailing or widespread. Prevalence is a noun and does not fit in the sentence. "prevalent" is the adjective form, and would be appropriate.
Either phenomena or ailments would be fine.
'Morality' means values concerning right and wrong. The word you are thinking of is 'mortality.' You can use 'mortality' in your sentence, but you would use it without 'the.' You could also way "which increase fatalities among children." I don't think "which increase fatality" sounds very natural.
If I were writing the sentence with your options, I think the best way to go is "Obesity and cardiovascular disease are two widespread ailments that increase mortality among children."

Prevailing/widespread/prevalence - yes
Fatality/morality - No, for both. Morality? I think you meant 'mortality', then yes.
Phenomena/ailments - not ailments.

Phenomena/ailments - not ailments.
Hello Sarah. How's it going? You are as busy as a beaver.

=============================================================
Obesity and cardiovascular disease are the two prevailing/ widespread/ prevalence phenomena/ailments which increase the fatality/morality among children.
Prevailing/widespread/prevalence [Prevailing can be used. Widespread can be used interchangeably. "Prevalence" cannot be used.
You can use Prevalence in a sentence, which discusses this issue, as follows:
"The Prevalence of Obesity and cardiovascular disease are serious problems
which increase mortality in children."]
Fatality/morality [Here, note that the appropriate word is not MORALITY, but "MORTALITY" which means death. MORALITY, of course, as you already know, refers to Right and Wrong, etc. Ethics is interchangeable with Morality though.
If you want to use Fatality, you will need to drop the definite article "the". So the sentence would read as follows]:
"...which increases fatality among children."
[The reason is that "fatality" is a general thing, and not a specific.]
If you use "mortality" you will want to word your sentence this way]:
Phenomena/ailments [These can be used interchageably. My preference would be to use "ailments" or even a world like "disease" or "disorder". Keep in mind, that anything in nature is a "phenomenon" (the singular) ; but phenomena (the plural)
lacks any specific CONNOTATION of a negative think like an ailment or disease or disorder.]
Keep up the excellent development. ---Warm Regards, Bruce
