And Never Worry About
Showing Your Legs Again!
Dr. Ozdaglar has successfully
treated patients for over 20
years. You can be treated on
an out-patient basis and be
back to work the same day!
Our clinic is the original,
don't trust your legs to any-
one else!
between 1991 and 1994, shows
that 59 percent of men and 41 per-
cent of women have a body mass
index of more than 25. Ten years
earlier, 51 percent of men and 41
percent of women were this heavy.
Body mass index, or BMI, is
quickly becoming the standard
way of talking about obesity be-
cause it is an easy way to compare
people of /Efferent heights.
BMI is body weight in kilo-
grams divided by height in meters
squared. A 5-foot-4-inch woman
who weighs 145 pounds, for ex-
ample, has a BMI of 25.
Federal guidelines suggest that
people should keep their body
mass indexes under 25. Anything
more than that is too much.
Christine Palumbo, a nutri-
tional communications consultant,
places the blame on several fac-
tors, including attitudes about eat-
ing and exercise.
And she says pervasive fear
also contributes to the overall
surge in weight in children.
"Parents are afraid to let their
kids go out by themselves," says
Palumbo. 'They are too afraid to
let kids go out and explore their
neighborhoods."
Instead, children are driven to
and from activities that are orga-
nized and less intense, says
Palumbo. That lack of exercise ap-
plies to adults, too.
"Walking to the store for milk
and bread, doing yard work, walk-
ing to the library—we're just not
doing it anymore," says Palumbo.
Most obesity in children stems
from lack of exercise, says a pedi-
atrician.
"Schools are cutting back on
sports, activities that burn off en-
ergy," says Dr. Louis Camras.
"And kids seem to be more lazy,
watching more TV."
Dr. Camras says roly-poly tod-
dlers don't necessarily grow into
overweight adults. But physicians
do become concerned when grade-
schoolers become too heavy.
Then they start the youngsters
on diets to maintain their weight
until they grow into the right pro-
portions, says Dr. Camras.
But the proliferation of low-fat,
fat-free and no-fat foods has con-
vinced people to believe they can
get away with more, says Ms.
Palumbo.
"People see the word `low-fat'
and they fail to take into account
that there are calories in that
food," she says. 'They use it to jus-
tify eating the whole package in-
stead of the regular serving."
But despite the bulging waist-
lines, the survey found that a ma-
jority of overweight people want
to weigh less, as do many whose
weights are acceptably low.
The survey also shows that
cholesterol levels are falling. ❑
