Obesity - The Adverse Health Effects
Obesity is one of the biggest health concerns in the US today with nearly one fifth of the adult population reportedly obese. A person is said to be obese if their BMI is 30 or above.
Statistics today show that 17% of men, and 21% of women in the US are obese. A person with a BMI of 25 to 29.9 is said to be overweight, with 46% of men, and 32% of women in the US falling into this category. In 1996, approximately 13% of 8 year olds and 17% of 15 year olds were obese. This increases the chance of adult obesity. These are alarming figures.
Obese women have a higher chance of dying from cancer of the gall bladder, cervix, breast, uterus and ovaries.
Especially if most of the fat is carried in the abdomen. Men have an increased risk of abdominal obesity, which increases the risk of heart disease and type-2 diabetes.
