NHS Direct Online nhs.uk Department of Health Social Care ... Public Health 24th September 2005 NeLH Homepage Hitting the Headlines Archive Hitting the Headlines Article 'Pill that cures obesity' A single new drug helps treat obesity, tackles cholesterol levels and helps smokers quit, reported six newspapers on 10 November 2004. The newspapers described trial results that were presented at a conference. The reliability of these results cannot be evaluated, as full details have not yet been published. Six newspapers (1-6) reported the results of a two year trial of rimonabant. All the articles reported that participants taking the drug had seen their body weight drop compared to participants who were taking the placebo treatment. The results of this trial were presented at the American Heart Association meeting in New Orleans. The trial assessed the effectiveness of two different doses of rimonabant or placebo given daily, in combination with a reduced calorie diet for a period of two years. The results, presented in a company press release, showed that participants who received the higher dose of rimonabant had a significantly reduced waist circumference, with 62.5% of participants losing more than 5% of their initial body weight and 32.8% losing in excess of 10%. The newspaper articles were generally accurate in reporting the findings of the research. However, three of the articles (2,3,6) failed to state that the drug had been administered in conjunction with a restricted calorie diet. All of the articles referred to the fact that the drug has also been shown to help people stop smoking without gaining weight. However, this outcome was not assessed in the present trial.

Search September 24, 2005 Registration Healthcare Professionals You are in: Children's Health Obesity in Children Obesity in Children Overview Obesity means an excess amount of body fat. No general agreement exists on the definition of obesity in children as it does adults. Most professionals use published obesity guidelines that use the body mass index (BMI) , or a modified BMI for age, as a measure of obesity for children. Others define obesity in children as body weight at least 20% higher than a healthy weight for a child of that height or a body fat percentage of more than 25% in boys and 32% in girls. Although obesity in children once was rare, it is now one of the most widespread medical problems in the United States and other developed countries. About 15% of adolescents (aged 12-19 years) and children (aged 6-11 years) are obese in the United States according to the American Obesity Association. The numbers are expected to continue increasing. Childhood obesity is one of our greatest health challenges. If your child is overweight, further weight gain can be prevented. Parents can help their children keep their weight in the healthy range.
