GENEVA (Reuters) - France is the first EU country to report a leveling off of childhood obesity rates, suggesting that healthier diet programs and a ban on vending machines in schools is paying off, researchers said on Thursday. The findings from two separate studies of school-age children signal a shift in France after decades of increase, researchers told the 2008 European Congress on Obesity. Many Western governments — where the obesity problem is greatest — have adopted programs in recent years to promote healthier diets and lifestyles to keep children from growing up to be overweight and obese. The French findings are important because they show that government policies are a potential weapon in the fight against childhood obesity, said Tim Lobstein, a director of the International Obesity Task Force in London.

The projects will see children in Merthyr growing their own fruit and vegetables at allotments to develop an interest in food and how it is produced. Childhood obesity has been one of the most worrying health trends in Wales over the past decade, with more children overweight than ever before. Last year, Chief Medical Officer for Wales Dr Tony Jewell urged all government departments to work together to tackle what he called the “epidemic” of obesity among the young. Cardiff (£493,877) – The scheme will be delivered to children under 12 in specifically targeted areas of Cardiff.

Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, MD, MBA, president and CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, will address the issue of childhood obesity on Wednesday, May 21, as featured speaker in the UCSF Chancellor’s Health Policy Lecture Series. A practicing physician with business credentials and hands-on experience developing national health policy, Lavizzo-Mourey was drawn to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation by the opportunity, as she puts it, to “alter the trajectory and to push society to change for the better. The series brings a major figure in health policy to the UCSF campus to raise awareness in the community of the important health policy issues of the day. In addition to her public lecture, Lavizzo-Mourey will meet throughout the day with leaders of UCSF’s four schoolsdentistry, medicine, nursing, and pharmacyUCSF Medical Center, and friends of the University. Several factors have contributed to the rise in obesity, she says, including the dramatic increase in food portion sizes starting with the fast food super-size movement in the 1980s. The portion of Americans’ food budgets spent on meals outside the home increased from 27 percent of household food budgets in 1962 to 46 percent of these budgets in 2002. Read Childhood Obesity

A new review of data and expert opinion suggests soft drink consumption greatly increases the risk of childhood obesity, according to researchers reporting in the May issue of the Journal of Pediatrics. While no single factor can be pinpointed as the sole cause of childhood obesity, the review revealed a correlation between soft drink consumption and the risk of childhood obesity. But all the benefit appeared to be among men under 65, where the watchful waiting group had more than double the death rate of the surgery group. Among all men in the study, after 10 years, those getting surgery had a 44 percent lower rate of death from prostate cancer, a 26 percent lower rate of death from all causes, and sharply lower rates of cancer spread. Brooks said longer-term research is needed to determine how the results apply in this country, where prostate cancer usually is diagnosed at an earlier stage by the PSA blood test; the Scandinavian men mostly were diagnosed when the tumor was large enough to be felt on a rectal exam.
