LOS ANGELES, CA - The city of New York is doing a better job than Los Angeles in the battle against childhood obesity, at least with children from families of low income, according to a study presented on Thursday.
From 2003 to 2011, the rate of obesity among poor children fell about 16% in New York. In contrast, it rose in Los Angeles to almost 20%.
The researchers focused on 3 and 4 year old children enrolled in a government program that provides food and other services to women and their minor children. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the study on Thursday.
The authors stressed the Los Angeles program has many more Mexican children. Obesity is common among this population group compared with white or black children. http://www.uniradioinforma.com/noticias/sandiego/articulo169335.html
