"Nationwide Children's Hospital officials hope a new report will spur community members and agencies to band together to improve the health of Franklin County's children.Stop the child abuse.
Obesity is the No. 1 health threat, the report states, and immunization rates in certain neighborhoods and infant mortality are sobering figures.
In all, the report includes 10 factors that affect children's health and compares data from Franklin County to the state of Ohio and the United States.
'Preventing pediatric obesity is the most important health mandate of our time,' the report states."
Fitness Watch is your site for making sense of fitness advice.
"Truth" has a shelf life.
The shelf life of "truth" is very short in the domains of fitness, health and well-being.
The reason is that so much of what we are told is "true" is really baseless.
At Fitness Watch we separate fitness information from fitness noise.
