The US usually takes the flak for being an overweight nation, but it turns
out that Europeans have nothing to be complacent about. A study by Wieland Kiess

while a fifth are 鈥減athologically obese鈥濃�攆at enough to endanger their
health. Other Europeans are not much better. Obesity is 鈥渢he prime pathological
risk factor today鈥�, says Kiess. At a meeting in Leipzig last week, researchers
discussed ways to diagnose the onset of obesity in childhood so as to prevent an
increased risk of kidney and circulatory disease and diabetes in later life.
