Background: Despite growing concern about the development of pediatric obesity, there is still controversy about its classification. International classification systems have been proposed and national systems are in use in many countries, often in parallel. Most proposed classification systems are distribution-based and not anchored to either fatness, metabolic risk or risk of adult obesity. A...

This study investigates the level of risk due to fat tails return distribution and changes tail fatness (TF) through portfolio diversification. TF is not eliminated diversification, and, interestingly, positive has declining until a certain reached, while negative rising fatness. indicates that are highly relevant common factors on systematic relevance higher for compared tail.

Despite heightened stigmatisation of fatness in gay/bisexual/queer (GBQ) men’s spaces, geographers have yet to explore the nexus men, sexualities, and fatness. ‘Bear’ is a term used describe set global identities, communities bodies GBQ men who are usually large hairy. Spaces created by Bears been described as inclusive fat but no geographic research has investigated such experiences themThis p...

These can be divided into subjective and objective traits. Subjective traits, such as flavour, can only be evaluated by the human senses. This places severe limitations on efforts to improve them genetically. Amongst the objective traits Malmfors (1979) identified colour, water content, drip loss and fatness. With reasonably high heritabilities (0.3 to 0.61, they appear to offer fair potential ...

Because increasing numbers of young people are nowadays seriously committed to highly competitive sports programmes and as many coaches and athletes are aware of the advantages of reducing fatness for optimal performance in most sports there are risks that excessive voluntary weight reduction may ensue. The urge to minimise body fat may indeed lead to a pathological degree of food and fatness a...
