Plan Health reform's impact on obesity A new report from the Center for American Progress highlights provisions in the recent health care reform law with "the potential to address childhood obesity," including menu labeling. Report Energy balance The RWJF Center has released a fact sheet on how energy balance, the relationship between calories consumed and calories burned, influences overall health and obesity risk. Fact Sheet Blog on Latino health, childhood obesity The team behind Salud America! produces a blog, called SaludToday, focusing on Latino child and adult health, including Latino cancer and childhood obesity. SaludToday Blog LATINO CHILDHOOD OBESITY RESEARCH Obesity prevalence climbs nationwide, especially among Latinos The prevalence of obesity among 10- to 17-year olds climbed 10 percent nationwide, according to a study in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, OregonLive reports. Adolescent obesity rates pushed above 20 percent in Alabama, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas, compared with a low of 9.6 percent in Oregon. Being Latino increased the risk of obesity by 76 percent, and being black increased the risk by 71 percent. Journal Article News Story Weight rises for pregnant women and newborns, especially Latinos Babies are being born with more body fat while pregnant women's body mass index (BMI) is rising, especially among Latinos, a new study shows. The study, presented at the annual meeting of the Pediatric Academic Societies, analyzed 74,000 births from 1990-2005. Over that span, mothers from all racial/ethnic groups gained weight. Yet Latinas had a greater increase in pregnancy weight gain (54%) than whites (47%) and blacks (51%), and Latinas' maternal BMI was higher. Latino newborns were more likely to have higher rates of newborn body fat. News story Foreign-born, less-educated Latina moms have "pressuring" infant feeding style Foreign-born, less educated Latina moms tend to believe that moms should always make babies finish a bottle, according to a study in Academic Pediatrics. About 72 percent of 368 Latina moms believed that infant crying indicates hunger, and 53 percent believed in babies finishing bottles. Moms with this "pressuring" style tended to be foreign-born with less than a high school education. Early childhood obesity prevention should improve moms' responsiveness to infant cues, study researchers say. Journal Article Overweight, obese children more likely to be bullied, regardless of race/ethnicity Overweight schoolchildren are 13 percent more likely to be bullied than are healthy weight children-60 percent more if they are obese, according to a new study in Pediatrics. The bullying rate didn't change based on race/ethnicity, sex or family income. Study researchers say parents, teachers and caregivers should be aware of the risk. News Story LATINO CHILDHOOD OBESITY NEWS White House task force issues report on fighting childhood obesity First Lady Michelle Obama recently revealed results of the White House Task Force on Childhood Obesity: a 124-page report laying out 70 recommendations and a gentle warning that, while the federal government can't solve the obesity epidemic, it is prepared to take action where others don't, the Washington Post reports. News Story Task Force Report Video: Eduardo Sanchez discusses Latino childhood obesity Latino families and communities can take action to help reverse the epidemic among their children and adolescents, said Dr. Eduardo Sanchez, vice president and chief medical officer of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas. Watch a video of Dr. Sanchez detailing what Latinos should know-and do-about childhood obesity. Video Doctors don't discuss diet as much with obese Latino, black patients Only about half of obese Americans, and even fewer minorities, were advised by their doctors to cut down on fatty foods, according to the 2009 National Healthcare Disparities Report, the L.A. Times reports. The report showed that doctors discussed food choices with 52 percent of their obese white patients, compared to 45 percent of blacks and 42 percent of Latinos. News Story Latino well-being highest in New Jersey, lowest in Alabama Latinos living in New Jersey had higher levels of well-being than Latinos in any other state, living eight years longer and making $7,000 more annually than Latinos in Alabama, where Latino well-being ranked lowest, according to a new report, the Wall Street Journal reports. News Story Food pyramid reshaped for Latino tastes The classic food pyramid has been reshaped for Latino, Asian and Mediterranean tastes by a research group called Oldways Preservation Trust, NBC Chicago reports. Public health officials can use the tool to reach U.S. Latinos, who have some of the highest obesity rates. News Story Research examines relationship between food insecurity, obesity A new synthesis from Healthy Eating Research finds little direct link between food insecurity and U.S. childhood obesity. Specifically, there is little evidence that participation in the National School Lunch Program or School Breakfast Program increases youths' obesity risk. Research Synthesis America's food deserts a "nutrition nightmare" in Latino, black neighborhoods America's barrios and black neighborhoods often lack healthy, affordable food options. Many convenience stores, bodegas and liquor stores offer little more than high-fat, pre-packaged food, high-sugar drinks, alcohol and other items that make health experts wince. News Story How can Latinos shop healthy at bodegas? Latinos face many challenges in shopping healthy at bodegas, according to a nutrition expert interviewed by WABC-TV in New York.When possible, consumers should focus on fruits and vegetables, low-fat dairy, good quality oils and brown breads and rice, the expert said. News Story California: The issue of toys in kids' meals A new California ordinance "requires that meals accompanied by toys meet basic nutrition standards. It's an interesting approach: reward good behavior, not bad behavior. It turns the familiar pestering power of children on its head, making it easier for parents to choose healthy meals," said Salud America! grantee Dr. Carmen Nevarez in a recent opinion piece. Opinion Piece California: Latino corner store to transform into healthy marketplace To set an example for healthy eating, the Latino Market corner store in Fresno, Calif., will be converted from a standard corner store into a community-friendly market selling local produce, thanks to the efforts of its owner, a local farmer, the Youth Leadership Institute and the Central California Regional Obesity Prevention Project. News Story California: Mexican-themed demonstration kitchen helps Latinos cook healthy The San Ysidro Health Center has built a Mexican-themed demonstration kitchen to teach its patients, mostly area Latino residents, to avoid daily servings of red meat and large amounts of hidden salt found in many home-cooked meals, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports. News Story Texas: School Breakfast program helps children start day on healthful note Given the importance of breakfast, the Ysleta school district in El Paso, Texas, is phasing in a program in which all elementary and most middle school students, regardless of income, eat breakfast in their classrooms at the onset of the school day, the El Paso Times reports.
