The Latest Statistics on America's Obesity Epidemic

The recent IHRSA/ASD Obesity/Weight Control Report publishes "real"
research statistics on America's growing obesity epidemic. These
alarming statistics reveal a dangerously overweight U.S. population.

Obesity in proliferating in the United States: 3.8 million people are
over 300 pounds, over 400,000 people (mostly males) carry over 400
pounds and the average adult female weighs an unprecedented 163
pounds!

Until now, the publication of the most crucial and powerful statistics
on obesity -- raw bodyweight averages for the American population --
had scrupulously been avoided by the most faithful keepers of the
public health record, the CDC. While the CDC has the most
comprehensive and widely disseminated public health statistics on
dieting, weight loss research and obesity in America, their focus on
the polite abstraction of Body Mass Index (BMI) rather than actual
bodyweight has hindered America's war on obesity.

The National Center for Health statistics has been tracking America's
obesity problem for over four decades. The following statistics
support the growing concern regarding the obesity problem in America.

-- Between 1962 and the year 2000, the number of obese Americans
grew from 13% to an alarming 31% of the population.
-- 63% of Americans are overweight with a Body Mass Index (BMI) in
excess of 25.0.
-- 31% are obese with a BMI in excess of 30.0.
-- Childhood obesity in the United States has more than tripled in
the past two decades.
-- According to the U.S. Surgeon General report obesity is
responsible for 300,000 deaths every year.

If you have a history of heart problems, don't shovel snow. Instead,
ask someone else to do it for you. If you are over age 40 and
overweight, have high blood pressure, smoke or lead a sedentary
lifestyle, check with your doctor even before lifting a shovel this
winter.
