After a study, US scientists found that by 2030, nearly half of the older\u00a0Americans<\/b>\u00a0will be\u00a0overweight<\/b>, BTA reported. The problem of\u00a0obesity<\/b>\u00a0turned out to be more serious than expected.<\/p>\n
“It’s very disturbing,” said Dr. John Lawrence Appel of Johns Hopkins, a nutrition expert. “We will have terrible medical and financial problems because too many people will weigh too much,” Dr. Apple added.<\/p>\n
The study was conducted by scientists at Harvard and George Washington University and published by the New England Journal of Medicine.<\/p>\n
Being\u00a0overweight<\/b>\u00a0increases the risk of heart disease, heart attacks, strokes,\u00a0diabetes<\/b>, cancer, and many other health problems.\u00a0Obesity<\/b>\u00a0is determined by the body mass index, which is related to the ratio of height to weight. the normal norms of this index are below 25. In\u00a0overweight<\/b>\u00a0people it is from 25 to 30. The average obese people are in the index from 30 to 35, and in those with severely\u00a0overweight<\/b>\u00a0the index is at 35 and up.<\/p>\n
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 40% of older\u00a0Americans<\/b>\u00a0have\u00a0obesity<\/b>\u00a0problems. According to a new survey, by 2030, more than 49% of\u00a0Americans<\/b>\u00a0will be overweight. In the 29 states, they will be more than half.<\/p>\n
Obesity<\/b>\u00a0is most prevalent among women (28%) and people with low-income (32%).<\/p>\n
The paradox is that people with low incomes and opportunities to buy food weigh more. The good news so far is that\u00a0diabetes<\/b>\u00a0has been declining due to early diagnosis and treatment.<\/p>\n
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports a decline in\u00a0obesity<\/b>\u00a0in pre-school children who are served government food at schools.\u00a0Obesity<\/b>\u00a0declined from 16% in 2010 to 14% in 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3565,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[2209,1058,51,208],"class_list":["post-3564","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-weight-loss-gain","tag-americans","tag-diabetes","tag-obesity","tag-overweight"],"yoast_head":"\n
