Being overweight may not be associated with early death, study says

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:06:55 GMT

(CNN) — Being overweight as defined by the body mass index rating scale is not linked to an increase in death when considered separately from other health issues, a new study found.Also known as BMI, the calculation measures a person’s body fat based on height and weight. As currently used, the BMI scale divides adult populations into various degrees of body fat.An adult is considered “overweight” if their BMI falls between 25 and 29.9, while a “healthy” or “normal” weight is defined as a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese.“The real message of this study is that overweight as defined by BMI is a poor indicator of mortality risk, and that BMI in general is a poor indicator of health risk and should be supplemented with information such as waist circumference, other measures of adiposity (fat), and weight trajectory,” said study first author Dr. Aayush Visaria, an internal medicine reside...

Jenny Craig is being revived online

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:06:55 GMT

New York (CNN) — Weight loss brand Jenny Craig is getting a second lease on life.Nutrisystem’s parent company Wellful is rebooting the brand this fall in a “convenient direct-to-consumer delivery model,” the company announced Wednesday. Jenny Craig went bust in May after more than 40 years in business because of growing competition from trendy diets and weight loss drugs like Ozempic.One major change is that Jenny Craig’s weight loss centers won’t be reopened, and the company will live entirely online. However, it will still deliver the “same delicious food and personalized coaching that millions of Jenny Craig customers have come to know and love,” the company said.Wellful CEO Brandon Adcock said that customers “expect products delivered quickly and easily to their door, and our e-commerce supply chain will enable us to deliver on that expectation.”Jenny Craig won’t be combined with any of Wellful’s other brands, notably Nutrisystem, rather it will be managed separately and be an i...

Belarus leader says Wagner chief is in Russia, adding uncertainty about his fate after failed revolt

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:06:55 GMT

MINSK, Belarus (AP) — The mercenary leader who led a short-lived mutiny against the Kremlin is in Russia and his Wagner troops are in their field camps, the president of Belarus said Thursday, raising new questions about the deal that ended the extraordinary challenge to President Vladimir Putin’s rule.Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko’s claim could not be independently verified, and the Kremlin refused to comment on Yevgeny Prigozhin’s whereabouts. But Russian media have reported he was recently seen at his offices in St. Petersburg.It was not clear if Prigozhin’s presence in Russia would violate the deal, which allowed the Wagner chief to move to Belarus in exchange for ending the rebellion and a promise of amnesty for him and his troops. But the reports signaled that the deal may have allowed him to finalize his affairs in Russia.If that’s true, it could suggest the threat posed by Prigozhin has not yet been fully defused and that the Kremlin...

Earth hit an unofficial record high temperature this week – and stayed there

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:06:55 GMT

Earth’s average temperature on Wednesday remained at an unofficial record high set the day before, the latest grim milestone in a week that has seen series of climate-change-driven extremes.The average global temperature was 17.18 Celsius (62.9 degrees Fahrenheit), according to the University of Maine’s Climate Reanalyzer, a tool that uses satellite data and computer simulations to measure the world’s condition. That matched a record set Tuesday, and came after a previous record of 17.01 Celsius (62.6 degrees Fahrenheit) was set Monday.While the figures are not an official government record, “this is showing us an indication of where we are right now,” said National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief scientist Sarah Kapnick. And NOAA indicated it will take the figures into consideration for its official record calculations.Scientists generally use much longer measurements — months, years, decades — to track the Earth’s warming, but the daily highs are an indication that cl...

SAN MARCOS, Texas (AP) — An arrest has been made nearly five years after a fire intentionally set in a housing complex killed five people and displaced 200 more in San Marcos, Texas, the city announced Wednesday.The July 20, 2018, blaze damaged the Iconic Village and Vintage Pads apartments in San Marcos, a city of almost 70,000 people southwest of Austin. The city fire marshal said days after the fire that four bodies were found in a single apartment building, which did not have sprinklers since it was built in 1970 and was code-compliant when constructed. Later that year, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said the fire had been set on purpose, and the five deaths were ruled homicides.Authorities gave little other details, including the name of the suspect. They planned to say more Thursday during a press conference.The Associated Press
