Given this trajectory toward a healthier childhood, we begin the 21st-century with a shocking development an epidemic of obesity in children and youth.

Acupuncture Meridians Ear Needle TCM Culture History Figures TCM Books TCM Forum Obesity Literally, obesity means a condition characterized by excessive body fat. 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 .

An alarming nine million children over the age of six are considered obese in this country. The health risks are all too real and include diabetes, high blood pressure high cholesterol , and low self-esteem, to name a few. The tried-and-true prescription of more exercise and better nutrition still holds true, but overweight children face unique challenges when it comes to weight loss. The Problem The statistics are disturbing. Over the past thirty years, childhood obesity has doubled for preschool children and adolescents, and tripled for children aged 6“11 years old. Not only are the overall obesity rates increasing, the heaviest kids are heavier than they were thirty years ago. Why is this happening? Experts who have studied childhood obesity attribute it to a change in lifestyle. The active lifestyle of the past”walking to school, playing outside, and engaging in after-school activities”has been replaced by a sedentary lifestyle of TV and computer games. Eating habits have changed noticeably, with convenience foods that are higher in fat and calories replacing fruits and vegetables. Even school lunches sometimes dont make the grade as far as fat content and healthy ingredients. The health consequences of obesity”physical, emotional, and social”are significant.

(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." Categories Caribbean Chiropractic Clinical Research Dietary Supplements ... Yoga Search This Site Subscribe What is RSS?

Another WebTrev.Com Health Services specialist sub-site. The Weight Loss, Dieting and Obesity Home Page. 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.

Full Text PDF PDA Full Text 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.

It is unclear whether overweight and lesser degrees of obesity also pose a risk.

With the use of Cox proportional-hazards models, the body-mass index was evaluated both as a continuous variable and as a categorical variable (normal, 18.5 to 24.9; overweight
