  2. The Weight of the Nation • Weight of the Nation

  3. The Obesity Epidemic • Most important public health problem For the first time in human history, in the year 2000 it was estimated that there were more overweight than underweight people. Source: Mendex, Monteiro, & Popkin 2005

  4. A Nation in Crisis • Our nation stands at a crossroads • The present obesity epidemic threatens progress related to increasing American’s quality and years of healthy life • Result – a decreased ability to compete in the global economy. Source: Surgeon General’s Vision for a Fit and Healthy Nation 2010

  5. The Problem - Obesity • One-third of U.S. adults (33.8%) are obese – 17 million • Approximately 6% with a BMI over 40kg/m2 The prevalence of obesity among adults changed relatively little during the 1960s and 1970s, but it increased sharply over the ensuing decades – from 13.4% in 1980 to 34.4% in 2008. Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

  6. Sizing up the Obesity Challenge • One in every three children (31.7%) ages two to 19 is overweight or obese. • One-third of all children born in the year 2000 are expected to develop diabetes during their lifetime.

  7. Sizing up the Obesity Challenge • The current generation may even be on track to have a shorter lifespan than their parents Source: White House Task Force on Childhood Obesity, 2010

  8. Obesity more Common Among Certain Racial and Ethnic Groups • Obesity rates are highest among non-Hispanic black girls and Hispanic boys. • Obesity is particularly common among American Indian/Native Alaskan children Source:

  9. Military Readiness • More than a third of all Americans ages 17-24 are unqualified for military service because they are too heavy. • The Army has started to overhaul food choices on bases. Source: White House Task Force on Childhood Obesity, 2010

  10. Firefighters • Half of incoming and current firefighters are overweight, while almost one-third are obese. • More firefighters die of heart attacks while on the job than from any other cause. Source: White House Task Force on Childhood Obesity, 2010

  11. Police Officers • Potential recruits are overweight, and many have trouble passing the initial police academy fitness requirement. Source: White House Task Force on Childhood Obesity, 2010

  12. The Obesity Epidemic • It came quickly, with little fanfare, and was out of control before the nation noticed. Source: Brownell & Horgen, 2004- Food Fight

  41. Adult Obesity Rates and Trends2008- 2010 • Ten years ago, no state had an obesity rate above 24 percent, now 43 states have higher obesity rates than the state that was the highest in 2000. • Adult obesity rates rose in 16 states over the past year. No state decreased. • Twelve states now have obesity rates above 30 percent: Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia. • Four years ago, only one state was above 30 percent.
