Global Obesity Data Needed!

Aloyzio Achutti, MD

The World Heart Federation is compiling a press release on childhood obesity. Please contribute your country's data today.

Dear ProCOR,

The World Heart Federation is asking for data on obesity (especially prevalence) with a particular focus on children. This is a chance for the members of ProCOR to present their experience and the most recent data available on the matter (published or not yet published material is welcome). This is not just an opportunity to attend to a specific WHF request, but it is also an opportunity for all of us to update each other and learn who's who in the field.

We welcome contributions from all over the world. From my country, Brazil, I'm calling Rosely Sichieri [email protected] (Rio de Janeiro).

Please send your data to Danielle Grizeau-Clemens at the World Heart Federation, [email protected], as well as to ProCOR at [email protected].

Sincerely,
Aloyzio Achutti
