A study published today in the open access journal BMC Public Health shows that consuming no more than a drink or two a few times a week reduces the risk of being obese. view more (2005-12-05)
Obesity at time of prostate-cancer diagnosis dramatically increases risk of dying from the disease
Obese men who are diagnosed with prostate cancer have more than two-and-a-half times the risk of dying from the disease as compared to men of normal weight at the time of diagnosis, according to a study by researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. view more (2007-03-15)
Hormone helps mice 'hibernate,' survive starvation
A key hormone enables starving mice to alter their metabolism and "hibernate" to conserve energy, revealing a novel molecular target for drugs to treat human obesity and metabolic disorders, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have found. view more (2007-06-06)

For overweight and obese individuals, the incidence of asthma increases by 50 percent, as compared to those of normal weight, according to a meta-analysis of seven studies on severe asthma involving 333,102 patients. view more (2007-04-02)
Obesity may be linked to middle ear effusions in children
Childhood obesity may be associated with a condition known as otitis media with effusion, which consists of fluid build-up in the middle ear space without symptoms of acute ear infection, according to a report in the April issue of Archives of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2007-04-17)

Breast Feeding May Not Protect Against Obesity
Breast feeding does not protect against overweight and obesity, according to two studies in this week's BMJ. The first study followed 2,250 male Brazilians for 18 years, for whom detailed breast feeding information was collected in early childhood. The results were mostly negative. Duration of breast feeding showed no association with several... view more... (2003-10-15)

A new genetic model for obesity?
A gene involved in fat (lipid) metabolism, and consequently relevant for studies in obesity and diabetes, has been described in Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) by a team of researchers in the September issue of Mechanisms of Development.
