3 million children die from environmentally
related causes each year.
Over 1 million people die each year from
work-related diseases and injuries.
Over 800 million people in the
world are food insecure.
80-90% of diahhreal cases are related to
environmental degradation.
Children in mega-cities receive
2-8 times WHO guidelines for
air pollutants.
By 2006, more than 50% of the world’s
population will live in urban areas.
2-3.5 billion people
in developing countries
rely on traditional
fuels for cooking and heating.
Inappropriate livestock-rearing practices lead to
zoonotic disease and antibiotic resistance.

NIH Obesity Research Outcome Goals (Draft 6/03)
Use knowledge of regulation of energy storage and food intake to develop new therapeutic modalities (including drugs, surgery, and other technologies) to complement lifestyle interventions
Use knowledge of mechanisms whereby obesity increases risk for co-morbidities to develop potential therapeutic approaches for ameliorating these conditions independent of weight loss
Evaluate the effectiveness and assure translation of strategies to maintain healthy weight in children and adults through behavior (activity, diet) change which can be applied in a home, school, or workplace environment
