Hello, this is More or Less, the programme about numbers on the BBC World Service.
I'm Ruth Alexander.
On this week's programme, has the promise of a bonus incentivised players to do better in the World Cup?
The claim here is that this generation may die at an earlier age than their parents as a consequence of childhood obesity.
Our reporter Laura Gray has been looking into this.
Well, that's surprising, but he's talking there about Britain.
Is the trend the same in other parts of the world?
Fascinating.
So although obesity causes cardiovascular problems, fewer people are dying from these problems and people in general are living longer than they used to.
According to this research, yes.
And taking weight out of the equation, is this generation today likely to die at a younger age than previous ones?
And so what explains this overall very significant drop in death rates?
So in most countries, from the USA to Iran, this generation is likely to live longer than the previous one.
