America Weighs In
Americans enjoy the most abundant and varied diet in the world. Food is cheap, plentiful, and tasty. All those readily available nutrients should make us a strong, healthy people. But for an increasing share of U.S. adults, life in the land of plenty is making them plenty fat. The percent of adults aged 20 to 74 who are obese based on their body mass index increased from 24 percent in the 1960s to 33 percent in 1988-91. By 1994, the share of all adults aged 20 and older who are overweight climbed further, to 35 percent. Applying that rate to the adult population yields a total of 65 million U.S. adults aged 20 or older who were overweight in 1988-94. We don’t get to blame the aging population, either. Overweight has become more prevalent among all age groups, not just the elderly.
Children and adolescents are following the example of their elders. The share of children aged 6 to 11 who are overweight increased from 11 percent in the late 1970s to 14 percent in 1994. For children aged 12 to 17, the share doubled to 12 percent in 1994.
Overweight people create markets for large-sized clothing and weight-loss products and services. But Americans seem to be losing interest in weight-loss diets. One market that is certain to benefit from this trend is health care. The National Center for Health Statistics(NCHS)says that overweight and obese adults are at increased risk for numerous acute and chronic conditions, ranging from high blood pressure to diabetes to arthritis.
Most doctors believe that a wide range of chronic ailments can be prevented or mitigated by maintaining reasonable body weight. Former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop recently said that if he had stayed in office longer, "I would have launched the same assault on obesity that I did on smoking."
