With the help and enthusi- asm of the faculty, the new aca- demic structure at Wilkes Univer- sity will enable us to contribute even more meaningfully as the region's leading teaching, research and public service institution,” Breiseth said.

He has always been a bit chubby, but now he's in elemen- tary school and other children are making fun of his size. What can | do to help him lose weight? Childhood and adolescent obesity are increasing rapidly inthis country. Obesity increased by about 40 percent in both children and adolescents between 1971 and 1985, according to a recent medical study. Unfortunately, that's not the end of the bad news. The same study also found that an estimated 80 percent of obese adoles- cents become obese adults. Shaking off an early start as an overweight child is not easy, and too often obesity becomes a life-long issue. When a child's weight is above his or her ideal body weight by more than 20 percent, the risk of complications associated with being overweight increases dramati- cally. At 100 percent or 100 pounds (whichever comes first) over ideal body weight the condition is called morbid obesity. Doctors consider this situation of ex- treme excess weight to be dangerous and requires immediate attention and treatment. Why some children become excessively overweight is the subject of a number of studies including several recent efforts to understand the hereditary contribution. There are as yet no definitive answers to that question. Television is blamed as a heavy contributor to the problem. Statistics show that the average child spends | more time in front of the television than in the classroom. Not only does that mean sitting idly and watching for many hours, but experts contend that eating "junk" food is part of the routine. One study, in fact, discovered that the time spent watching television is the single most important predictor in determining Wigterashid would This health awareness is brought to you as a service to the Back Mountain community by Robert Greenhalgh, M.D.. Dr. Greenhalgh is a Back Mountain physician who offers general pediatric, gynecology, and geriatric medical care, on a personal basis. Board- Certified in Family Practice, he is on staff at Mercy, Nesbitt, and Wilkes Barre General Hospi go on to become an obese adolescent. Strict diets are not necessarily the proper way to approach weightloss programs for your child. A very low calorie weight-control plan can retard growth and devel- opment, including sexual maturity. A positive and bene- ficial approach for both child and parent is to reform the child's eating habits. Best results can be realized if the entire family is involved. Seta good example by taking up healthy eating and exercise habits yourself. A weight-loss program will undoubtedly mean that your child will eat fewer calories, but the reductions are modest, to around 1,500 calories per day. Emphasis should be placed on making good food choices. Include raw and cooked vegetables, fish, less red meat and less fatty and fried foods and less butter and sugar. You should not force the child to eat everything on his plate. Serve smaller portions and no seconds; substitute fresh fruits and low-calorie frozen fruit bars for ice cream and sweets. Encourage your child to eat only at prescribed meal times with no snacking in between. This can be ac- complished by leaving those tempting, but fattening, snacks off the grocery list. Build a supportive group of family members, including grandparents, and the child's school teacher as well. Provide your child with opportunities to participate in athletic activities that are fun but not overwhelming or difficult for a child who is overweight. Being overweight or obese is a serious problem that can last a lifetime and even decrease a person's life expectancy and quality of life. Solving the problem takes determination from you and your child. Approach the problem rationally and with care. Draw up a plan (with yourdoctor's guidance) with reasonable goals and enough time to attain them.
