In a published report in the current issue of the
American Journal of Medicine that obesity is
becoming as big a hazard worldwide, and
compared it to cigarette smoking.
The epidemic of obesity in the United States as
well as globally, contributes to avoidable and
premature deaths from cardiovascular disease,
cancer and other causes. The report notes that
obesity is the leading avoidable cause of the
current epidemic of type 2 diabetes in the U.S.
The hazards of obesity h ave been grossly
underestimated in the past.
“I am deeply concerned that the United States is
the fattest society in the world and likely to be
the fattest in the history of the world,” said
the lead researcher. He also commented that in
the U.S. today, 40 percent of adults age 40 and
over have metabolic syndrome, a constellation of
obesity, blood fa t abnormalities, high blood pressure,
and insulin resistance, a precursor of diabetes. These
individuals have a high risks of premature death and
disability.
Later noted in the report the economic cost of
overweight and obesity in the U.S. alone is
astronomical and growing–as well as a major driver
of our out-of-control healthcare costs.
The report cautions that “unless Americans lose
weight, increase their levels of physical
activity, and embrace a healthier lifestyle,
cardiovascular disease will remain the leading
killer in the U.S.

refusing to quit smoking. (not a very good choice)
