Obesity in US

OBESITY in United States of America Overweight and obesity are found worldwide, and the preva- lence of these conditions in the United States ranks high along with other developed nations. Approximately 280,000 adult deaths in the United States each year are attributable to obesity. More than half of U.S. adults are overweight 50.7% Overweight Women There are 46.9 million women over the age of 20 59.4% that are overweight in USA. 54.9% Overweight Adults Overweight Men There are 97.1 million There are 50.2 million men adults over the age of 20 that are overweight in USA. over the age of 20 that are overweight in USA. Overweight Adults Overweight Women Overweight Men Obesity is an increasing problem. According to the National Institutes of Health, 60% of American adults are overweight and 35% are considered obese, while about 25% of American children are overweight or obese. And the numbers are rising. In fact, if current trends continue, more than half of American adults are likely to be obese by 2030. Nearly one-quarter of U.S. adults are obese 50 There are 39.8 million 22.3% adults over the age of 20 that are overweight in USA. 39.8 mil 40 Overweight Adults 30 There are 23 million women 25.0% over the age of 20 that are overweight in USA. 23 mil Overweight Women 20 16.8 mil 8.87 mil There are 16.8 million men 10 19.5% 5.75 mil over the age of 20 that are overweight in USA. 3.27 mil Overweight Men Statistics put out by the National Institutes of Health indicate that one-quarter of U.S. adults are obese - having an abnormally high proportion of body fat. The number of overweight individuals in the United States continues to rise for all age groups. Less than half of U.S. adults are a healthy weight This increase in body weight has steadily increased over the past two decades in both sexes and amongst nearly all racial/ethnic groups including non-Hispanic whites, non- Hispanic blacks, and Mexican Americans. Amongst women, obesity and overweight prevalences were highest among non-Hispanic black women. More than half of non-Hispanic black women aged 40 years or older were obese and more than 80% were overweight. 43.6% 41.4% 39.0% Women Adults Men There are 40.3 million women over the age of 20 that are overweight in USA. There are 73.2 million adults over the age of 20 that are overweight in USA. There are 32.9 million men over the age of 20 that are over- weight in USA. Prevalence of overweight and obesity in minorities The age-adjusted prevalence of combined overweight and obesity in racial/ethnic minorities-especially minority women--is gener- ally higher than in whites in the United States. Prevalence of overweight and obesity in minorities 65.9% Mexican American women 31.2 million Mexican American 65.8% Mexican American men 63.9% Black women 43.2 million Black Population 61.0% Black men 56.5% White men 223.2 million White American 49.2% White women 20 40 60 80 100 Mortality rate associated with obesity Most studies show an increase in mortality rate associated with obesity (BMI 30). Obese individuals have a 50-100 percent increased risk of death from all causes, compared with normal-weight individuals (BMI 20-25). Most of the increased risk is due to cardiovascular causes.
