Action plan for childhood obesity in Cyprus

Action plan for child obesity
CYPRUS IS in need of a specific policy to fight obesity among adults and children, which has taken on serious dimensions according to a European programme aimed at setting a pan-European precautionary policy.

The European PorGrow programme’s measures include an improvement of information and education regarding food, nutrition, health and exercise, better control over advertising, a regulation of food sales and supply, and an increase in exercise.

Also worrying was the fact that Cypriot men came second in an international survey on obesity and women came fifth, while children were among the five leading countries.


The programme was coordinated by the Research and Education Institute, Children’s Health, whose president Dr Michalis Tornaritis said yesterday that the survey included the participation of 60,000 Cypriot children.
