Obesity

Obesity is having a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher. Normal body mass index between 18.5 and BMI varies by height.

Hispanics and Blacks are slightly heavier than white adults. In a CDC report, it reported that African Americans consume 33% more fast-food than whites. The poor is statistically more overweight than the rich, because junk food is inexpensive. 21% of medical expenses are due to obesity.

Consequences Diabetes - the rate of diabetes has risen 70% since 1995 Cardiovascular Disease - leading cause of death and leading factor of obesity Cancer - obesity factor of 20% cancer diagnoses Depression - link between obesity and weight gain Reproduction - reduces fertility rate and increase miscarriages during pregnancy Respiratory Disease - sleep apnea, asthma, obesity hypoventilation syndrome are common in obese people Cognitive Health - memory loss and thinking skills Musculoskeletal disorders - "leading cause of arthritic pain, injuries, and atrophy in muscles and joints, often in the knee, ankle, foot, and shoulder"leading cause

Preventions  Health Education 1. Physical Education (P.E.) - schools aren't giving children the exercise they need. Over half of high schools in the U.S. take no P.E. class. Budget cuts are the main cause of this. 2. Recess - With more focus on standardized testing, recess is cut short. 3. Sports Programs - 61% of students have to pay a fee to play, which makes it harder for lower income children. 4. Healthy Meals - Schools moved to ban junk food and sodas.  Healthcare – Doctors can provide information and insurances can cover weight-loss and wellness programs.  Food and Exercise – stay away from junk food and take minutes to walk or ride your bike.
