Williams Essentials of Nutrition and Diet Therapy

---

A major health problem in the United States and worldwide is the rising prevalence of obesity. Countries previously facing food shortages and undernutrition are now experiencing increasing overweight. Changes in food and lifestyle patterns over the past 25 years have resulted in tremendous changes across the United States. Since 1980, body weight have increased by 20% even when corrected for age and increases in body height. Seventy-one percent of men and 61% of women are overweight or obese, and 32% of children are either overweight or at risk for overweight. Persons age 40 to 59 are more likely to be overweight or obese than adults younger or older, and children older than age 5 are at greater risk of overweight than preshoolers. The obesity among children and adolescents is increasing their risk of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome, conditions seldom before seen in youth. Apparently, however , body weight may be leveling off in women and youth while continuing to rise among men.
