Obesity in Youth Triggers Early Metabolic Syndrome Risks
Yale researchers find half of very obese children show metabolic syndrome, a cluster of obesity related conditions raising early diabetes and heart disease risk. In a sample of 439 youths, 50 percent of severely obese and 39 percent of moderately obese had syndrome, with eight of 34 developing type 2 diabetes over two years.

Auto oriented cities linked to higher obesity risk
Lawrence Frank of the University of British Columbia reports a study linking driving with weight gain. About 91 percent of surveyed people said they did not walk to destinations, and many spent over an hour daily in cars. Kelly Brownell of Yale calls the findings important for environmental impact on activity. The Atlanta based study, to appear in June in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, tracked travel behavior from 2000 to 2002 and notes postwar development fosters car reliance.
