Childhood obesity levels have stopped rising in many rich nations. Some claim it is proof that healthy-eating (67) are working,while others are (68) that it hides differences between rich and poor compatriots (同胞). Together with a research review that shows the (69) of childhood obesity rates,or even their decrease, in 15 countries (70) over the past decade,new data also showing obesity plateau (稳 定水平) was (71) at the International Congress on Obesity in Stockholm,Sweden last month.
