As part of its response to the global epidemic of obesity, WHO is releasing guidelines to support primary healthcare workers identify and help children who are overweight or obese. In 2016 an estimated 41 million children under 5 were affected by overweight or obesity. Without effective treatment they are very likely to remain overweight and obese throughout their lives, putting them at risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and premature death, as well as suffering physical and psychological consequences in childhood.
Assessing and managing children at primary health-care facilities to prevent overweight and obesity in the context of the double burden of malnutrition is part of a concerted effort to tackle the global epidemic in obesity including among children. This global epidemic affects all world regions. It is rising most rapidly in low- and middle-income countries.
In 2016 an estimated 41 million children under 5 were affected by overweight or obesity. Of this, one-half of all children overweight or obese lived in Asia and one quarter lived in Africa. Paradoxically, overweight and obesity are found in populations where undernutrition remains common – the term 'double-burden of malnutrition' is sometimes used to describe these settings.
Without effective treatment, they are very likely to remain overweight and obese throughout their lives, putting them at risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and premature death, as well as suffering physical and psychological consequences in childhood.
WHO recommends that all infants and children aged less than 5 years presenting to primary health-care facilities should have both weight and height measured in order to determine their weight-for-height and their nutritional status according to WHO child growth standards. Comparing a child's weight with norms for its length or height is an effective way to assess for both wasting and overweight.
Where infants and children are identified as overweight, WHO recommends providing counselling to parents and caregivers on nutrition and physical activity including promotion and support for exclusive breastfeeding in the first 6 months and continued breastfeeding until 24 months or beyond.
If children are obese, they should be further assessed and an appropriate management plan should be developed. This can be done by a health worker at the primary health-care level if adequately trained, or at a referral clinic or local hospital.
Additionally, moderate wasting and stunting are potential risk factors for children becoming overweight or obese. Within these populations, and until there is a more definitive evidence base, to avoid increasing the risk of overweight and obesity WHO recommends not to provide formulated supplementary foods on a routine basis to children who are moderately wasted or stunted.
As well as helping Member States and their partners in their efforts to make evidence-informed decisions on assessing and managing children at primary health-care facilities, the guideline aims to support their efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, the global targets set by the Comprehensive implementation plan on maternal, infant and young child nutrition, and the Global strategy for women's, children's and adolescents' health 2016–2030.

Solages deserves another term in the 22nd A.D.
Posted Tuesday, October 27, 2020 11:43 am
Michaelle Solages
During her four terms in the State Assembly, representing the 22nd District, Democrat Michaelle Solages, of Elmont, has been a tireless advocate for working families. She has not only been a constant presence in her district, but is also aware of big-picture issues, and has pushed for policies that, in the long term, would benefit disadvantaged communities and boost local economies.
Solages's efforts to establish a universal pre-kindergarten program on Long Island are particularly laudable. If successful, this would be a game-changer for lower-income, working parents. Because it would give them greater freedom to work and more money to spend, the program could have a big impact on local businesses. It's a project we encourage Solages to see through to completion.
She has shown her support for new mothers by pushing for Medicaid expansion in the state to provide greater access to donated breast milk, and crafting a bill to have dedicated breast-feeding accommodations in public buildings. These efforts demonstrate how important voices such as Solages's are in addressing issues that a traditionally male-dominated Legislature might overlook.
On issues closer to home, Solages fought to have local voices at the table in talks on the Belmont Arena project.
Her Republican challenger, Nicholas Zacchea, of Floral Park, has decades of expertise as an economic adviser to Congress and to governments around the world. He knows budgets, and the ways in which waste and corruption manifest themselves. He would be a useful asset in Albany, particularly for high-tax areas such as Nassau County that suffer from an inefficient patchwork of governments and school districts.
At times, however, Zacchea hews too closely to the reflexive Republican orthodoxy of law and order and smaller government. His proposal to offer local businesses pandemic aid in the form of low-interest, long-term loans, which would only deepen their debt, gave us pause. He also paradoxically expressed opposition to New York's bail reform law while acknowledging the inequities that led to it.
The Herald endorses Solages, and encourages voters to re-elect her next Tuesday.

Q: How to access and modify the mouse cursor outside of the UI thread? I'm writing a macro program, and have almost everything set up expect mouse control. The problem it that the logic is running separate from the UI thread, and that I don't know how to convert the mouse from the UI thread to the new one.
This is the error I get without any invoking.
System.InvalidOperationException: 'Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'Form1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.

I tired to remedy this by invoking the Cursor, but it is not invokable it seems.
Is there any way to disable thread safety and would that even be a good idea?
if (Cursor.Current.Handle.InvokeRequired) //and other variations of it
   this.Invoke(new MethodInvoker(() => this.Cursor = new cursor(Cursor.Current.Handle)));
else this.Cursor = new cursor(Cursor.Current.Handle);

Give the error
'IntPtr' does not contain a definition for 'InvokeRequired' and no accessible extension method 'InvokeRequired' accepting a first argument of type 'IntPtr' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

A: The context belongs to the Form, not the cursor. That means you need to test for invocation on the form instance. But there is an other option though: grab the synchronization context itself.
var f = new Form();
var ctx = WindowsFormsSynchronizationContext.Current;
Console.WriteLine(Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId);

Action a = () =>
    {
        Console.WriteLine(Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId);
        f.Cursor = new Cursor(Cursor.Current.Handle);
    };

Task.Run(async () => {
    await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5));
    Console.WriteLine(Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId);
    ctx.Post(_ => a(), null);
});

Task.Run(async () =>
{
    await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
    Console.WriteLine(Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId);
    if (f.InvokeRequired) f.Invoke(a); else a();
});

f.ShowDialog();
