Counting is underway in Ireland's election as 3 parties battle for top placeNearly 75% of adults in the United States are overweight or obese. That number was included in a recent study which also revealed alarming obesity rates among children, leading experts to say it could strain the health care system. “Not surprising,” said Dr. Harry Miller of Four Seasons Pediatrics in Saratoga County. “There are a few important factors that are contributing.” A new study published earlier this month in The Lancet , a peer-reviewed medical journal, shows obesity rates have doubled since 1990 with more people becoming overweight and obese earlier in life than ever before. “I think a big thing is screen time,” Miller said. “Screen time is sort of becoming a staple of life for how kids are growing up.” Authors considered overweight adults to be 25 years of age or older with a body mass index (BMI) at or above 25. The number of obese adults, which has nearly doubled to more than 40% since 1990, have a BMI at or above 30. As of 2021, that accounted for 172 million Americans. “I like the BMI concept itself because it’s not a focus on weight,” Miller said. “It’s rather to say, 'Here’s a model of the likelihood of you having a condition later on and we can impact that.'” Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey found that nearly 20% of children between the ages of 2 and 19 are obese. “I always ask, 'What do you think you’re doing well with? And I will give them a list of the top four things that impact their BMI,” Miller explained. “I want to compliment them on what they’re doing well and keep doing those.” There are various contributing factors, but experts are pointing to the 70% of young athletes who quit their respected youth sport by age 13. “Being involved in athletics, or just any physical fitness, really, just not only sharpens the body, but sharpens the mind too,” Colonie High School’s head basketball coach Greg Davis said. “Discipline to continue to do things every day, whether you feel like it or not. Set a goal for yourself and go out and do it.” With this in mind, policymakers in Washington are looking ahead. A Joint Economic Committee report released earlier this year predicted obesity will cost more than $9 trillion in medical expenditures over the next 10 years. Miller said it’ll take a team to reverse the trends. “The parents, pediatrician, the public all play a role in the three-legged stool in how we can manage this,” he said. “Parents have to set some guidelines from the beginning, but also model for their kids.”

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has provided a temporary relief to Chairperson Rashmi Saluja amid a fight for the control of Religare Enterprises Ltd. In an order on Dec. 18, the court halted an annual general meeting of Religare that was scheduled to take place on Dec. 31. A bench of Chief Justice Suresh Kumar Kait and Justice Vijay Kumar also stayed the Reserve Bank of India's approval of the Burman family's open offer, which would allow them to acquire a 26% stake in the company. The order comes as a relief to Saluja as the decision on her reappointment has been delayed due to the court's intervention. The Burman family, which is the largest shareholder of the company, has been seeking to oust Saluja, raising questions about the future leadership and control of Religare. The high court was hearing a public interest litigation filed by advocate Vijayant Mishra for protecting the interests of minority shareholders of Religare. Mishra argued that the proposed acquisition by the Burman family could lead to control being concentrated in the hands of a few, potentially undermining the interests of over 73,000 minority shareholders. Religare Enterprises confirmed the court’s stay in a filing to the BSE and the National Stock Exchange on Thursday, saying that the notice for the AGM would remain on hold until further orders. The Burman family, through its entities, placed orders to acquire up to 1.73 crore equity shares, representing 5.27% of Religare's equity, at a maximum price of Rs 235 per share. This move is part of their strategy to surpass the 25% threshold, triggering an open offer obligation as required by regulations governing non-bank financial companies. While the RBI had given approval for the increase in shareholding, it has withheld approval for the proposed appointment of four new directors at this stage.
