OBESITY
Is it a disease or a lifestyle problem?
Obesity is a serious health problem in the United States and
increasingly around the world. Costs and associated
diseases continue to increase. Recent studies into the
causes of obesity indicate that the problem is more
complex, and may have less to do with “willpower” and other
such issues, than previously thought. Many obesity experts
hope this research will help physicians and others rethink
the way they understand and treat the problem. Skeptics,
however, continue to blame inactivity and overeating for
obesity. While the World Health Organization (WHO) and
others call for a reduction in sugar consumption to combat
obesity, the food industry says it is being unfairly targeted.
The planet’s population is getting fatter. Once a problem
largely confined to high-income regions, overweight and
obesity are on the rise in low- and middle-income
countries. According to the World Health Organization
(WHO), obesity has more than doubled worldwide since
1980. In 2014 more than 1.9 billion adults (39 percent of
Earth’s adult population) were overweight. That includes
600 million who were obese.
Among children, overweight and obesity are increasing
more than 30 percent faster in lower-and middle-income
countries than in developed countries. In 2013, 42 million
children under the age of 5 worldwide were overweight or
obese.
