In general, life expectancy has increased by more than thirty years since 1900 and much of this improvement is due to the reduction of infant and early childhood mortality. Given this trajectory toward a healthier childhood, we begin the 21st-century with a shocking development an epidemic of obesity in children and youth. The increased number of obese children throughout the U.S. during the past 25 years has led policymakers to rank it as one of the most critical public health threats of the 21st-century.

The body cannot store protein or carbohydrates , so the excess is converted to fat and stored. One pound of fat represents about 3,500 excess Calories. About 25% of the word population is overweight. But being obese is different from being overweight. An individual is considered obese when weight is 20% (25% in women) or more over the maximum desirable for their height. When the excess weight begins to interfere with vital functions such as breathing, it is considered morbid obesity . About 5 to 10% of children are obese. Between 13 and 23% of all adolescents are obese; 80% of obese teenagers are likely to grow into obese adults. Obesity will increase the risk of illness and death due to diabetes , stroke , coronary artery disease , and kidney and gallbladder disorders. The more overweight, the higher the risk becomes. Obesity has been implicated in increased incidence of some types of cancer .

(The Cincinnati Enquirer) "Within the next 10 years, an epidemic of obesity threatens to cut between two and five years from average U.S. life expectancy. For the first time in history, children may not live as long as their parents. It doesn't have to happen here if we act now. On March 22, the Enquirer Editorial Board called a summit of local and state leaders to grapple with a crisis we've been covering for seven months the explosive increase in children's obesity, inactivity and poor nutrition. But rather than focusing on how to stave off disease, the 50 health, education, insurance and public-policy leaders raised a more challenging question: Why doesn't our region commit to raising the healthiest kids in America? That's a goal that can unite us."

Extractions: Another WebTrev.Com Health Services specialist sub-site. More than twenty years of my adult life have been consumed with the struggle to lose weight. Obesity has plagued me and many diet plans have failed to provide effective long term weight loss. I am well educated to Masters Degree level with extensive professional and academic research experience in commerce and applied finance fields. That may not immediately sound relevant to the field of weight loss and obesity studies, but what exactly is? How many general medical practitioners really understand weight loss? Very few have ever studied nutrition or sports sciences or psychology and are therefore less than equipped to fully advise on sensible weight loss and dieting. The emphasis of 'conventional medicine' on drug and surgical approaches for weight loss to treat obesity more commonly shows the limitations of conventional medicine in providing healthy permanent solutions to chronic conditions. Where is an overweight or obese person to turn when they realise they need weight loss help? Are there any "one size fits all" solutions to weight loss? Why are there so many weight loss products, diet plans, weight loss clinics and spas, exercise programs, education programs, and yet obesity is increasing as a problem among the populations of the developed world just as fast as the "solutions" appear?

Links Introduction Many pilots are distressed when they notice that their own center of gravity is moving considerably further forward than it was when they were just learning to fly. The consequences of pilots reaching a weight they consider gross can be just as hazardous as trying to fly an aircraft that exceeds its gross weight. When pilots can no longer see their own "landing gear" because of the tire around their "fuselage," they look for medical maintenance personnel or decide to perform their own annual inspection and maintenance. This guide is a simplified manual on weight reduction and fat loss. Following the manual may improve your airworthiness, add years to your service life, and dramatically improve your performance. Costs of Excess Weight Excess weight is a common health problem in the United States. It may also have adverse social and occupational implications in some individuals. In several occupations, excess weight may be a safety concern. The social and health consequences of excess weight lead to Americans spending over $30 billion each year in medical treatment and over the counter weight loss efforts. Half of American women and a quarter of American men attempt to lose weight each year with variable success over the long term.

Clinical Implications of Basic Research from The New England Journal of medicine Genetic medicine and obesity.
http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/extract/348/21/2138

Extractions: Add to Personal Archive ... PubMed Citation Almost all common diseases, such as coronary heart disease, diabetes, and obesity, are genetically complex traits. Although they appear to run in families, they have no clear pattern of inheritance and their clinical expression has been attributed to the interaction between multiple genes and the environment, but the genes have been very hard to identify. Since identification of the genes involved is a crucial step toward understanding the molecular pathogenesis of complex diseases, new methods are needed to accelerate this process. A study by Schadt and colleagues of obesity in mice may provide such an approach.
