A New Cause of Suffering

A conference on obesity（肥胖症）was recently held in Vienna. Two thousand experts from more thanfifty countries attended the conference. According to statistics, 1.2 billionpeople worldwide are overweight, and 250 million are too fat. Obesity is rapidlybecoming a new cause of suffering.

Professor Friedrich hopichler of Salzberg said:"we are living in the new age but with the metabolism（新陈代谢）of a stone-age man .I have just been to the United States. It isreally terrible. A pizza（比萨饼） shop is appearing onevery corner. We have been occupied by fast food and Coca-Cola-ization."

Many of the experts stressed that obesity was apotential killer. Hopichler said: "eighty per cent of all diabetics（糖尿病人）are too fat, also fifty per cent of all patients with high bloodpressure and fifty per cent with fatty tissue complaints. Ten per cent moreweight means thirteen pet cent more risk of heart disease. Reducing one'sweight by ten per cent leads to thirteen per cent lower blood pressure."

Another expert Hermann Toplak said that thestate health services should improve their financing of preventive programs."the health insurance pays for surgery（such asreducing the size of the stomach）when the body-massindex（身体质量指数）is more than 40. That is equivalent to a weightof 116 kilograms for a height of 1.60 meters. One should start earlier."

Toplak said tat prevention should begin inschool. "Child obesity has a close relation with the time which childrenspend in front of TV sets."
