European and international health experts say a new study makes the most convincing case yet for the benefits of children being active.

They say the research may lead to new guidelines saying youngsters between ages 5 and 16 need to be active up to 1a hours a day. "Just making sure children play outside will double the amount of physical activity they get," said Dr. Lars Bo Andersen, lead author of the research published in the medical journal Lancet. Experts said the study doesn't mean children need to be on treadmills or in soccer leagues they just need to be able to run around and play physically, even for short bursts of time. Concerned by flaws in previous studies, Andersen and his colleagues set out to examine the connection between children's physical activity and risk factors for heart disease and diabetes.

1,732 children The study looked at 1,732 9 yearr olds and 15 year olds from Denmark, Estonia and Portugal. Physical activity was monitored for four consecutive days by strapping little machines to the youngsters' hips, which monitored accelerations in body movements. Despite differences among the three "countries where children were monitored, the benefits of physical activity were consistent. The more active children had healthier numbers for blood pressure, cholesterol and insulin. "This effect is not dependent on one country or one ethnic group, and it is probably applicable in almost any population," said Dr.

Ram Weiss, a pediatrician at the Hebrew University Medical School. Because it measures activity, objectively, without relying on questionnaires, Andersen's re earch may lead to a reconsideration of physical activity guidelines by countries and global health organizations. "This is much stronger evidence than we've ever had before," said Nick Cavill, a research associate in the public health department at Oxford University, New disease leaves doctors doubting, patients frustrated McClatchy Trlbune MINNEAPOLIS For a long time Linda Vosylius thought her debilitating exhaustion was chronic fatigue syndrome. Then about six months ago, her husband found a.Web site devoted to a new and even scarier skin disease. "And I began to realize to my complete horror that something a lot worse than chronic fatigue was happening to me," she said.

Vosylius, 56, of Mound, is one of thousands of people who believe they have a terrible disease not recognized by any doctor or public health organization Morgellons disease. It has a lot of symptoms, but what makes it unique are skin lesions that contain tiny threads or fuzz balls that are black, red or blue. Now, after a year or more of pressure from people who believe they have it the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has agreed to investigate Moigellons to determine whether it's a real disease or a shared delusion. "Either way," said Dan Rutz, a CDd "it's a public health threat." Years from now experts could identify a new virus or immune disorder that places Morgellons squarely in the medical textbooks. But for now it has joined a whole host of other syndromes with no known cause or cure that some experts say are spread by the media and the Internet.

They include chronic fatigue, Gulf War syndrome and chronic Lyme disease. "It's an epidemic of diagnoses, not diseases," and a drain on public health dollars, said Dr. Edward Shorter, a professor and expert on the history of psychiatry at the University of Toronto, According to the Morgellons Research Foundation, most who think they have it are told they suffer from a psychiatric disorder called delusional parasitosis. Patients mistakenly believe they are infested with a skin parasite and often refuse to accept it when their doctors say they are not You already know what a will does. Preplanning does more.
