Obesity
and Diabetes Epidemic
Americans
keep getting fatter -- and more are developing diabetes. That's the alarming
finding of a study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The
CDC says that more than 44 million Americans were obese and 16.7 million people
had diabetes in 2001, both increases over the previous year. The findings, published
in the Journal of the American Medical Association, were based on telephone
surveys of 195,005 U.S. adults. The real rates may be even higher, the CDC says,
because people tend to underestimate their weight. These rates have serious
implications for public health in the United States since both conditions are
associated with a host of health problems.
