US Endocrinology, the Peer-Reviewed Medical Journal, Addresses the Effectiveness Of Inexpensive Non-medical Interventions in Improving Obesity and Diabetes Outcomes
LONDON, June 10, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — With estimates that by 2030 the majority of the world’s adults will be overweight or obese and more than 500 million will have type 2 diabetes, the 2013 summer issue of the journal US Endocrinology addresses the potential for inexpensive non-medical interventions to reverse the incidence and prevalence of these inter-related epidemics. A number of the reviews discuss new approaches that replace the focus on widespread food restriction and weight loss with an emphasis on helping people achieve ‘energy balance’ at a healthy body weight.
