ARLINGTON, Va., Jan. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Because obesity – the most prevalent and costly chronic disease in the United States – remains largely undiagnosed and untreated a decade after the American Medical Association (AMA) classified it as a serious disease requiring comprehensive care,1 the National Consumers League (NCL) and National Council on Aging (NCOA) today introduced the nation's first Obesity Bill of Rights and launched a grassroots movement – Right2ObesityCare – to advance changes in federal, state, and employer policies that will ensure these rights are incorporated into medical practice.

Key Points: 
  • The Obesity Bill of Rights aims to address the unique challenges people with this condition face when seeking care.
  • -Ramsey Alwin, NCOA President and CEO
    Developed in consultation with leading obesity specialists and endorsed by nearly 40 national obesity and chronic disease organizations, the Obesity Bill of Rights establishes eight essential rights, so people with obesity will be screened, diagnosed, counseled, and treated according to medical guidelines and no longer face widespread weight bias and ageism within the health care system or exclusionary coverage policies by insurers and government agencies.
  • "For too long, adults with obesity have encountered a health care system that is working against them.
  • They have been stigmatized, discriminated against, not treated with respect by their health providers, and have faced significant hurdles and burdensome requirements to receive obesity care."

NEW YORK, Jan. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Colangelo & Partners and Wine Opinions conducted their second annual wine survey, this year focusing on U.S. wine drinker attitudes, behaviors, and trends related to beverage alcohol consumption and health. "There are several challenges for the wine industry heading into 2024," said Gino Colangelo, president of Colangelo & Partners. "Personally, I think the biggest threat is the growing Neo-Prohibitionist movement and its potential to affect the U.S.D.A. Dietary Guidelines for adult consumption of beverage alcohol, which are due to be reviewed in 2025." There's speculation that the current guidelines — 2 drinks per day for men and 1 drink per day for women — may be revised to 2 drinks per week for all adults, following the recent change in Canada. "Related consumption trends such as 'Dry January' and 'Sober October' also impact consumer behavior," continued Colangelo. "The research with Wine Opinions provides our clients and the wine industry with data-driven insights that will help adapt business strategies during this pivotal time."

Key Points: 
  • "There are several challenges for the wine industry heading into 2024," said Gino Colangelo, president of Colangelo & Partners.
  • "Related consumption trends such as 'Dry January' and 'Sober October' also impact consumer behavior," continued Colangelo.
  • The study was conducted in December 2023 and surveyed 2,013 U.S. adults from the Colangelo & Partners and Wine Opinions consumer databases, who drink wine on average 2 to 3 times per month or more often.
  • The survey set out to measure, among other things, current wine consumer trends and the attitudes and behaviors among U.S. wine drinkers regarding alcohol consumption and health.
