Fri, 28 March 2008 Combating Childhood Obesity - an Interview with Dr. Steven Kelder This week on Fitness Rocks I talk to Dr. Steven Kelder, a medical researcher at the University of Texas Medical School in Houston's School of Public Health. He has worked extensively with a program called CATCH - Coordinated Approach to Child Health. Dr. Kelder talks about the issues and problems of childhood obesity and the different ways researchers are trying to employ to reverse the trend toward higher rates of childhood obesity. We also discuss some of the obstacles to success in reversing this very serious and expensive public health dilemma. |
