The voluntary plan was hammered out at talks in Geneva in the face of stiff opposition from lobbies such as the sugar-producing nations. It includes guidelines for urban planners on encouraging exercise as well as advice on healthy eating. Nearly one in six people worldwide is now considered overweight. The plan was approved on Friday and adopted by the 192-member World Health Assembly on Saturday. It is aimed at combating diseases linked to diet or lack of physical activity such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis, malnutrition and tooth decay. The BBC's Imogen Foulkes in Geneva says this is the first ever attempt to regulate the world's eating habits. Among the suggestions featured in the plan, which is not legally binding, are:

A team at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center found high levels of a protein, which affects the body's processing of fat. They believe its presence in breast milk could influence a person's "fatness" later in life. The findings were presented at the annual meeting of the Paediatric Academic Societies in San Francisco. Researchers say this is the first step in understanding the relationship between breast milk and metabolism. Dr Lisa Martin and colleagues found high levels of the protein adiponectin. Fat regulation Adiponectin is secreted by fat cells and affects how the body processes sugars and fatty substances in the blood. Low levels of this protein have been linked to obesity, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance and coronary artery disease. However high levels of adiponectin have been linked to lower rates of disease.

This has resulted in a weight-loss industry worth billions of dollars a year and growing. What are the long-term results of weight-loss programs? How can people sort through the many programs available and select one that is right for them? Weighing the Options strives to answer these questions. Despite widespread public concern about weight, few studies have examined the long-term results of weight-loss programs. One reason that evaluating obesity management is difficult is that no other treatment depends so much on an individual's own initiative and state of mind.

RSS Feeds OUR AFFILIATES Wednesday, July 2, 2003 Coke deal could make schools target of suits By DEBORAH BACH SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER A prominent Washington, D.C., law professor who led billion-dollar victories against the tobacco industry warned the Seattle School Board yesterday that it might become the target of an anti-obesity lawsuit for allowing middle and high schools to peddle soda to students. George Washington University professor John Banzhaf said he and other lawyers would lend their support to lawsuits against school boards in districts that have exclusive vending machine contracts with soft drink providers. He said Seattle Public Schools is a prime target for such a lawsuit, given its exclusive five-year contract with Coca-Cola. The School Board had been scheduled to vote at tonight's meeting on whether to extend the contract, which expires Aug. 31, but the vote has been delayed until at least July 17. Banzhaf said via telephone during a news conference in Seattle yesterday that since schools and school boards have a legal duty to protect students, Seattle School Board members could be sued individually and as a group if the district renews the Coke contract. A lawsuit is in the "planning stages," he said, and lawyers involved in the fight against the tobacco industry will offer assistance to any plaintiffs in a suit against the Seattle School Board.

O BESITY IN C HILDREN AND T EENS No. 79 The problem of childhood obesity in the United States has grown considerably in recent years. Between 16 and 33 percent of children and adolescents are obese. Obesity is among the easiest medical conditions to recognize but most difficult to treat. Unhealthy weight gain due to poor diet and lack of exercise is responsible for over 300,000 deaths each year. The annual cost to society for obesity is estimated at nearly $100 billion. Overweight children are much more likely to become overweight adults unless they adopt and maintain healthier patterns of eating and exercise. What is obesity? A few extra pounds do not suggest obesity. However they may indicate a tendency to gain weight easily and a need for changes in diet and/or exercise. Generally, a child is not considered obese until the weight is at least 10 percent higher than what is recommended for the height and body type. Obesity most commonly begins in childhood between the ages of 5 and 6, and during adolescence. Studies have shown that a child who is obese between the ages of 10 and 13 has an 80 percent chance of becoming an obese adult. What causes obesity?

Manage alerts What is this? In a letter to the United Nations agency that is meeting next week, Health and Human Services official William Steiger questioned the organization's findings, said they were based on faulty science, and called for changes to the report. The WHO report recommends eating more fruits and vegetables and limiting fats and salt. It also suggests governments limit food advertising aimed at children and encourage their citizens to eat healthier foods. Taxes and subsidies could be used to reduce the price of healthy food and make them more attractive to consumers, the report said. The International Obesity Task Force estimates that 300 million people worldwide are obese and 750 million more are overweight, including 22 million children under age 5.

Special Reports SERVICES Video E-mail Services CNNtoGO Contact Us SEARCH Web CNN.com Latest data shows rapid rise in obesity Story Tools (AP) Some facts and figures about obesity in the United States from the recent health studies: The number of obese adults is soaring, up to nearly 59 million people, or almost a third of all adults and doubling over the past two decades. Fifteen percent of youths ages 6 to 19 were seriously overweight, the term experts use as a rough equivalent to obesity in children. That is nearly 9 million youths and triple the number in a similar assessment from 1980. Obesity can sharply reduce life expectancy. Studies released this year showed that being obese at age 20 can take 20 years off a person's life; being obese at age 40 can reduce life expectancy by seven years. The percentage of extremely obese people at least 100 pounds overweight is growing even faster, one study found. From the 1980s to 2000, extremely obese adults quadrupled to about 4 million, or about 1 in every 50 adults. Medical care for the obese averaged $732 per year more per person than for people of normal weight, one study found. Nationwide, that would mean $92.6 billion more in 2002, with half the cost picked up by government-funded Medicare and Medicaid programs.

Annals of Internal Medicine LONDON, England (Reuters) Medical experts have called for a new assessment of how weight-related health risks in Asians are measured which could push up the number of overweight and obese people worldwide to 1.7 billion. The new figure, which would be 50 percent higher than the current estimate is based on recommendations to lower the threshold for Asians because of their special vulnerability to weight-related disorders. Professor Philip James, the chairman of the London-based International Obesity TaskForce (IOTF), said the global standard for measuring overweight/obesity, the Body Mass Index (BMI), is based on western criteria and needs to be adjusted for Asians. "The point of reducing the values is that it will be an altering point which you give to both the public and doctors," James said in an interview.

Editor's Note: CNN Access is a regular feature on CNN.com providing interviews with newsmakers from around the world. (CNN) Congress is weighing in on how to get American kids to improve their eating habits. With 60 percent of all Americans said to be overweight, hearings last week focused on how to reverse the trend toward obesity. Dr. Andrew Weil, co-author of the book, "The Healthy Kitchen," talked with anchor Paula Zahn about the importance of getting kids to eat right. ZAHN: Let's talk about what brings you to our show this morning, and that is the alarming increase in obesity rates. We are going to put some statistics up on the screen now that I hope captures a lot of attention here. Thirteen percent of children aged 6 to 11 years and 14 percent of adolescents aged 12 to 19 years in the United States are overweight. These figures have almost tripled in the past two decades. One of the causes: bad eating habits. What's happened to us? WEIL: Well, I think we have become more and more dependent on fast food, on processed food, on highly refined foods, foods made by the food industry, rather than food we prepare ourselves. And those kinds of foods are doing us in.

OAS_AD('Top'); Obesity Obsession Friday, March 12, 2004 By Steven Milloy OAS_AD('Middle'); severe obesity search The excuse for the desperate health warning is a study in the March 10 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association in which the CDC claims that poor diet and physical inactivity caused 400,000 deaths in 2000. That estimate supposedly represents a 33 percent increase from the 1990 estimate and approaches the 435,000 deaths in 2000 supposedly attributable to smoking. Attributable risk search Recklessly plugging unreliable statistical correlations into the attributable risk formula to produce sensational body counts can only be described as junk science. And if all this is too technical, just ask yourself this question: Is it really plausible that the death rate from overweight and obesity has increased by 33 percent in the last 10 years?
