Most obese by occupation? Bus drivers

Bus drivers have the highest rate of obesity among 14 occupation groups measured in a survey for the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index. Transportation workers have a 36 percent obesity rate, according to the USA Today report . Transit workers also suffer at higher rates from a number of medical conditions, including diabetes, high blood pressure, carpal tunnel syndrome and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, according to information from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. A veteran bus driver blamed the prolonged sitting that drivers do. "First the sedentary nature of the work, sitting much of the day with the inability to move around, even for bathroom breaks," Ed Watt told USA Today. Watt drove a bus in Brooklyn and Manhattan for 20 years and now serves as the Director of Health and Safety for the Transport Workers Union of America AFL-CIO. "The second is the mobile nature of the job leaves poor food choices. So fast food rules." Watt also said: "The other factor is that these jobs are highly stressful," he said. "The stress of the jobs results from high demand and low control over the work. Traffic, people and schedule are all big items that are beyond your control as a driver. As a result of the stress, many are inclined to mal-adaptive coping mechanism." The good news, Watt said, is that part of his job is working to make it easier for the transportation workers to lose the top spot on the Gallup ...

Peter Suciu for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online Individuals diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD ) as children are more likely to grow up to be obese adults, say researchers who conducted a new study published in the journal Pediatrics . The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported that close to 1 in 10 children and teenagers have been diagnosed with ADHD, and that boys are twice as likely to be diagnosed as girls. The long-term study, which was released Monday, found that a typical boy with ADHD can appear to be quite active but that this activity doesn’t guarantee a path toward healthy weight later in life. The researchers found that men diagnosed with ADHD as children were, in fact, twice as likely to be overweight or obese as adults compared to those who were never diagnosed with the disorder. The study tracked 207 white males with ADHD who were referred to a research clinic at around age eight and were followed as they grew up. A decade later, another group of teenage boys without ADHD that was otherwise similar to the original test group were added to the study. By the time subjects were asked to report their weight at age 41, there were still 111 men from each group. The researchers found that the men with a history of ADHD reported having an average weight of 213 pounds, and 41 percent of these were considered obese. By comparison those who had not been diagnosed with ...

Friends of the Earth received €3,101,245 from the European Union between 2007 and 2009. WWF did better, with €8,794,595. Between 1998 and 2009, the EU disbursed €66 million to the green lobby. It’s a kind of “you fund us and we’ll keep forecasting climate catastrophe and you can produce green taxes on the basis of our forecasts that scare your citizens”. Some might call this a corrupt relationship. It’s certainly not a healthy one. Organisations, scientists and governments have so committed themselves to global warming that they need us to keep believing it.

Photographer Seth Casteel is currently touring various shelters in the U.S. to put on workshops. You may be familiar with Casteel’s Underwater Dogs series.

Scanner scandal: are zoos using animal equipment on obese humans?

The Guardian finds claims, counter-claims and outright denials as to whether overweight patients have been scanned at zoos Urban myth or unacknowledged elephant in the room? A consultant working in the x-ray department at a west Midlands hospital has said London zoo had to scan patients who were too obese for NHS equipment. Travis, not his real name, speaking on Radio 5 Live's Your Call , talked about a patient who was suspected of having a potentially life-threatening clot on the lung "a couple of years ago" but was too heavy for screening. Instead a fellow consultant who had referred the woman to his department told him: "In which case, let's get an ambulance and we will send her to London Zoo." Travis added: "I promise you. This is absolutely true. It is my understanding that she (his medical colleague) had had previous experience where patients who had acquired morbid obesity to such a level, they were sent to London zoo, where they have top veterinary medical facilities including special scanners that can take large animals like lions and small elephants and hippos etc". He added: "I believe that they accept, on an intermittent basis, patients that have acquired a similar size." The Guardian talked to Travis, who said he had had accounts of this happening "from two separate sources and have no reason to doubt it". The Royal College of Radiologists could not help as to whether such an instance has ever happened in Britain. Do ...
