The task force suggested that extensive and intensive behavioral interventions are the best way to help a child get to a healthy weight. A high BMI for a child is defined a little differently than it is for adults, although both use height and weight to estimate mass. Nearly 20% of children in the US have what’s considered a high BMI.

Under the Affordable Care Act, private insurers must cover preventive services that get a grade of A or B; the new child obesity recommendations got a B grade.

Fatherhood changed him; it gave his life purpose, he said. My research lab investigates how the brain changes when men become fathers, and we are discovering that fatherhood can be transformative for their brains and bodies. Not only that, but men’s involvement in fatherhood can have long-term benefits for their brain health — and for healthy societies. But the transition to fatherhood can also be a time of vulnerability, which is why supporting fathers should be a priority for policymakers. Our results echoed studies of mothers done by some of the same researchers.

Trump’s stint in reality TV has been squeezed many times over for significance. He interviewed Trump six times between May 2021 and November 2023, and talked to numerous people who worked for or appeared on the show. But access — especially when it comes to a 20-year-old reality show built around voluble people who crave attention — can yield only so much.

Latinas face the steepest climb up the corporate ladder despite being as ambitious as their white peers, according to new research from Lean In. Latinas lag behind nearly all other major demographic groups in the executive ranks — white men and white women, Black men and women, even Latino men — comprising a mere 1% of C-suite executives at U.S. companies. A "broken rung" at the first critical step up to manager is still holding Latinas back from climbing the corporate ladder — for every 100 men promoted to manager, only 74 Latinas are promoted, Lean In reports. Latinas are less likely than white women and women overall to have their work highlighted to a leader or to have benefited from a sponsor action like being recommended for a promotion. Nearly half (44%) of Latinas say career growth has become more important to them in the last two years, compared with 32% of white women, Lean In reports.
