Obesity : A Worldwide Problem If you are overweight or obese, you are certainly not alone, in fact you are in the majority. In the United States, estimates as recent as 1999 show that 61 percent of adults are overweight or obese and 13% of the children and adolescents are overweight. And, obesity is becoming more prevalent in countries around the world, even in those that have a very low incidence of obesity like China. Does it help to be in the majority? If you are overweight, what matters is not how many others have the same problem, but how your body weight affects your personal health and well-being. Fighting obesity is a personal challenge that is fought one pound at a time. Measuring Obesity Overweight has been defined in the United States as a body mass index of between 25 and 29.9. If an individual's body mass index is 30 or greater, they are considered obese. As an example: If you are 5'2" tall and weigh 142 pounds, your body mass index is 26 and would be considered overweight and at greater health risk. This applies to both men and women in the same way because this measurement is simply a comparison of weight for height.

As obvious as this might sound, there actually is little firm scientific data to prove the point, especially against fast food. But now a large study released shows just how bad super-sized burgers and nonstop tube time can be for one's health. "Fast food emphasizes primordial preferences for salt and fat," said researcher Mark Pereira. "This may promote overeating." The project did turn up one surprise: While a lot of fast food is clearly bad for white people, it seems to make no difference at all for blacks. The reason for this is unclear, but the researchers said the data suggest that black people's diets are often just as unhealthy at home as they are at the drive-through window. So a lot of fast food doesn't make matters any worse than they already are.

Risks include high birth weight, heavy parents, too much TV Getty Images file Too much TV and not enough sleep can cause young children to pile on the pounds, scientists caution. LONDON - Scientists have drawn up a check-list of early warning signs of child obesity, among them too much television and not enough sleep. More than eight hours' TV a week or less than 10-1/2 hours' sleep a night for a three-year-old increase the risk of piling on the pounds, they say. "Eight factors in early life are associated with an increased risk of obesity in childhood," said Dr. John Reilly, an expert on child obesity at the University of Glasgow in Scotland. "There are certain factors, very early on, which can set you on a particular path in life to becoming obese," he added in an interview. The others are: high birth weight; early size; rapid weight gain; quick growth in years one and two; early body fat and having obese parents. A propensity to gain weight begins early, even in the womb.

WASHINGTON (CNN) The Bush administration Friday announced a campaign to combat the epidemic of obesity in the United States through improved product labels, health education, and a partnership with restaurants to help steer people toward healthier menu choices. "It reflects our commitment to reversing this tragic obesity trend, in which far too many Americans are literally eating themselves to death," Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson said at a news conference unveiling the campaign. Thompson's comments were timed with a report from the Obesity Working Group of the Food and Drug Administration, stressing a theme of "calories count." The FDA, in accepting the group's recommendations, plans to take a variety of actions in response.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) Obesity is the No. 1 health threat in the United States today, the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. While much of her time is spent preparing to fight anthrax, smallpox, and biological threats, and diseases like SARS and West Nile virus, the CDC's Dr. Julie Gerberding said Americans are much more likely to die from cancer, heart disease, and diabetes caused by smoking, eating too much and exercising too little. "Unfortunately, poor diet and a lack of exercise have almost caught up with tobacco as being the leading cause of death in the United States," Gerberding on Tuesday told a meeting of the National Health Council, which groups companies and non-profit health advocacy organizations. She cited statistics that show 65 percent of U.S. adults are either overweight or obese. In 2000, 38.8 million American adults were classified as obese, meaning their health is seriously at risk.
