U.S. Childhood Obesity Rates Stabilize, CDC Researchers Find
A study in this week’s Journal of the American Medical Association suggests that U.S. childhood obesity rates may be leveling off after surging for more than two decades, although experts caution that "the pace at which young people are becoming overweight remains alarmingly high," the Washington Post reports. To assess recent trends in childhood obesity, researchers from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calculated body mass indices for 8,165 youth between the ages of 2 and 19 participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 2003 and 2006. After comparing the data with information from 1999, the researchers found no statistically significant difference in the prevalence of obesity. Overall, nearly 32 percent of participants were considered overweight, roughly 16 percent were considered obese, and approximately 11 percent were considered extremely obese.

Giving up smoking has rapid health benefits, says study
By James Randerson
Risk of death from all causes falls by 13% within 5 years and no extra risk of death by 20 years
People who give up smoking begin to improve their health almost immediately, according to a study of more than 100,000 women carried out between 1980 and 2004. Within five years the risk of death from all causes fell by 13%, it found. By 20 years, people had no extra risk of death because of their past smoking history.
The study, by researchers at Harvard medical school in Boston, also highlights the benefits of not starting smoking until later; women who began at 17 were 22% more likely to die within the study period than those who started at 26 or older. The news will encourage the third of smokers in the UK who would like to give up the habit. A survey by the Office for National Statistics released in January found 22% of Britons are smokers, down from 27% at the end of the 1990s and the lowest level since records began.
