Former Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson, a long-standing advocate in the fight against obesity says, "As Secretary, I launched a 'Call to Action' to fight excess weight and obesity. Personal, accurate, and actionable information is a first step to people understanding their health and changing behaviors. To achieve those goals requires smart incentives by government, schools and the private sector, not legislated mandates built on outdated science." According to Thompson, the requirement to measure BMI underscores the faults in the new regulations. He points to a growing consensus in the scientific community backing the use of "body composition analysis," including a new University of Southern California study that points to this new model in obesity management. Thompson notes, "A new generation of private sector firms including Stayhealthy are bringing innovative, effective and affordable new tools to the American public based on the medical community's consensus about body composition analysis that will enable Americans to understand and change their health and behavior on their own without government interference." About The Study: For the study published in the June issue of Nutrition Research ("Validity and Reliability of the Stayhealthy BC1 Bioelectrical Impedance Analyzer for the Prediction of Body Fat in Children and Adults"), see full journal article at http://www.nrjournal.com/article/S0271-5317(10)00066-7/abstract .
