Report Cites Healthier Habits in Leveling of Teen Obesity Rate

It's little more than a glimmer of hope, but a comprehensive new report
suggests that a trend toward healthier habits may have halted the rise of
obesity among U.S. teens.
.
In 2009 and 2010, American adolescents exercised more, watched less TV,
ate more fruits and vegetables and drank fewer sugar-sweetened beverages
than did children of the same age in 2001 and 2002, the national study
found. The research was published online last week in the journal
Pediatrics.
.
Despite steady improvements in behaviors linked to excess weight, rates of
overweight and obesity among children in grades six through 10 continued
to rise until 2005.
.
But against a backdrop of urgent efforts to get children off the couch,
improve schools' nutritional offerings and drive down soda consumption,
something happened between 2005 and 2010 that has scarcely been seen for
more than 30 years among the nation's young teens: Obesity rates held
steady at 12.7 percent for this age group nationally. And the proportion
of teens in grades six through 10 who were overweight ticked downward
slightly from 17 percent in 2005 to 16.6 percent in 2010.
.
The report falls in line with a wide range of indicators suggesting that
rates of obesity among the nation's children may at least have stabilized
and could, with continued efforts, be poised for a reversal.
