It has been estimated that more than 60% of adult Americans are overweight, that is a Body mass Index of greater than 25. A recent study estimated that 11% of teens are overweight, and a full 14% of children are overweight. Many experts believe that obesity in the United States is becoming epidemic, and that, if current trends continue, by the year 2040, virtually every American will be overweight.
What is Body Mass Index? BMI is a measurement based on height and weight as it relates to body fat, and can be used to determine how much risk a person has of developing certain health problems because of his or her weight. The guidelines for BMI:
Persons with a BMI of greater than 25 increase their risk of serious health problems, including hypertension, Type II Diabetes, cardio-vascular disease, congestive heart disease. 300,000 Americans die each year from obesity-related illnesses. Obesity is second only to tobacco smoking as the leading preventable disease in the US.
