Thesis (MBA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The prevalence of overweight and obesity escalated over the past 30 years worldwide in adults, children, and adolescents. Estimates are that 26% of the global adult population is either overweight or obese. However, the most alarming fact is the increase in obesity in children and adolescents. In South Africa, the estimated overweight and obesity prevalence in adults is 45% and 20% in children below 6 years of age.

Abstract:

This study of 449 newspaper articles from South Africa from 1997 provides an analysis of the representations of obesity evinced in the corpus. The research argues that obesity is overwhelmingly framed as being diseased and that there are four main refrains within this frame, namely, statistics on obesity, the naturalisation of negative assumptions about fat, the social dysfunction of fat and the use of crisis metaphors to describe fatness. This framing lends itself to representations of obesity which are raced, gendered and classed. Fat bodies are portrayed as being in deficit and fat people a

HHV-8 which is a member of the Herpesviridae family, exhibits extensive genetic diversity globally. In endemic regions, infection with HHV-8 occurs very early on in life, which is an indication of both environmental and vertical routes of transmission. The advent of HIV leads to the classification of an AIDS-KS defining condition in HIV infections.
