A new computer treatment is being used to deal with obesity（肥胖）in children .

Connected to a small dining set , consisting of scales and a plate , a mini computer teaches children how to eat and reminds them when to stop .

“ In very fat people , hunger signals from the stomach to the brain stop functioning . But the new computer system teaches the children how to receive these messages again . ” says Dr . Julian Hamilton-Shield , the Bristol University senior leading the treatment trials .

The computer , called a Manometer , records and stores the weight loss from the plate when children eat . As the food is leaving the plate , a curve（曲线）is produced on the computer screen suggesting whether the child is eating too quickly .

“ Children with weight problems often eat too quickly . We want them to eat steadily and slowly and the system teachers them to slow down . It’s a bit like retraining , ” says Hamilton-Shield .

Obesity now represents one of the major threats to the future health of children . About one in five boys and one in four girls aged two to fifteen in English are overweight . But so far no treatments have proven effective in treating children .

The Manometer was developed in Sweden ,but at present is experiencing further development at the University of Bristol , with $ 224,400 in funds from BUPA—a global health and care organization .
