— were increasingly being found along with the rising levels of childhood obesity in Europe. “The figures suggest that children in the EU could soon be the same as kids in the US. There the number of kids with the metabolic syndrome doubled from 910,000 to two million in less than 10 yearn,” said the analysis by the International Obesity Task Force, a group of famous obesity scientists and policy experts. The group estimated (估計 ) that between 2,000 and 10,000 European children already had the type of diabetes (糖尿病 ) usually found among middleaged people. A statement was made at the conference by Markos Kyprianou, EU Commissioner for Health and Consumer Protection. He made plans for Europewide rules to control the selling of unhealthy food to children and other plans for agriculture, education, and transport to deal with the obesity problem. The European Union would publish new ideas on diet and exercise before the end of the year and have the document checked with the food industry, antiobesity activists, and others to make a final plan by the end of 2021, Mr. Kyprianou said. The move follows the big steps taken last year by the World Health Organization, which launched (發(fā)起 ) a global programme on diet and physical activity after health ministers from around the world approved the plan.
