“…Even modest reductions in weight of 5-10% of initial body weight are effective in decreasing associated comorbidity. 4 Furthermore, a recently published prospective study of more than a million adults in the United States (457 785 men and 588 369 women) supported the well established increase in the risk of death from all causes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, or other diseases throughout the range of moderate and severe overweight for both men and women in all age groups. 5…”

“…The healthy schools approach is being promoted nationally by the government in recognition that the school is a key setting in which to improve both health and education. 4 Liverpool healthy schools programme is currently undergoing national accreditation following the launch of the national healthy schools scheme last year. The scheme provides national accreditation for education and health partnerships, and aims to ensure that evidence is gathered to demonstrate effectiveness.…”

“…3 The rate of physician counselling about exercise is low. 4 Perhaps this is because physicians do not want to act without evidence. I believe that physicians must not be pressed to advise patients to buy weight reducing devices, etc, before they have the evidence that treating or preventing obesity is worth while.…”

Breast feeding is important Editor-Frühbeck does not consider the role of infant feeding in the aetiology of childhood overweight and obesity. 1 Dewey et al found that formula fed infants were heavier than those who received no milk other than breast milk in the first 12 months, although they were of similar length and head circumference. 2 The study also found that the energy intake of breastfed infants was lower than that of formula fed infants, even after the introduction of solids, and suggested that relatively low energy intakes are a function of self regulation in breastfed infants. Von Kries et al found in children aged 5 and 6 years a substantial, dose dependent, protective effect of breast feeding on obesity and overweight: three to five months of exclusive breast feeding was associated with a 35% reduction in obesity at the age of 5 to 6 years. They discuss the evidence for a programming effect of breast feeding in preventing obesity and overweight in later life. 3 Breast feeding mothers lose weight after pregnancy more effectively than those who feed artificially, an advantage seen over at least the first 12 months of breast feeding. 4 It seems that promoting and supporting breast feeding should be part of the initiative to tackle the "epidemic of obesity." 5

“…However, these children grew up in an environment with decreasing viral circulation [9]. Many boys in this cohort remained susceptible after the age of 11 years and formed the basis of the major rubella outbreaks that took place in 1992 and 1996 [22]. The introduction of a second dose of the MMR vaccine in adolescents of both sexes in 1991 reduced the opportunities for viral circulation by including boys among the target population.…”

Increase of immunity to rubella and interruption of rubella transmission in Gipuzkoa (Basque Country, Spain) after an enhanced vaccination programme

et al. 2004

SUMMARYIn Spain, vaccination against rubella was initiated in schoolgirls in the mid-1970s. In Gipuzkoa, subsequent extensions to the vaccination schedule culminated in 1992 with the introduction of the two-dose measles, mumps and rubella vaccine in children and adolescents of both sexes. Moreover, in 1985 a programme for the identification and vaccination of non-immune parturient women was implemented in the region's main hospital. The prevalence of rubella-susceptible parturient women decreased from 3 . 7% at the beginning of the study to <1 . 5% by 1992. Despite this overall decrease, 4 . 8% of adolescent parturients were susceptible to rubella during . From 1984, the number of reported cases of rubella (children and adults) progressively decreased until 1997, after which there have been no cases of indigenous rubella. There have been no cases of reported congenital rubella since 1984. These results indicate that the vaccine policy carried out in this geographical area has been effective in achieving considerable progress towards rubella elimination.
