Talk:Obesity/to do

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  • solidify present material with maximum WP:CITE
  • more on epidemiology, e.g. global numbers and political/geographical/sociocultural determinants that have been identified in this way
  • slightly more on the neurobiology (e.g. which cerebral mechanisms may be involved) and the consequences of obesity to metabolism
  • incorporate guidance from professional organisations
  • address the relevance of fad diets and the limited scientific evidence for their use
  • recommend adding a BMI calculator like http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/index.htm
  • correct picture insert of "The Tuscan General" which features Alessandro del Borro. Alessandro del Borro was in fact the Tuscan General, who the artist was of this piece is still a mystery.
  • Would like to add information pertaining to new findings linking obesity to Dementia. Information has been published by the American Neurology Association <http://www.neurology.org/cgi/content/abstract/01.wnl.0000306313.89165.efv1>
