Obesity caused by a sedentary lifestyle is becoming a global problem, experts from the World Health Organization (WHO) warned, quoted by Reuters. Nearly two in three people in the United States over the age of 20 are overweight or obese.
The overweight population has increased dramatically over the last 20 years. In 2007, obesity was a problem for less than 20% of the population in Colorado alone, and over 30% were obese in 30 states. The number of morbidly obese Americans is also growing rapidly - they now number more than 9 million.
Many heart diseases, type 2 diabetes, some types of cancer, high blood pressure are associated with being overweight. Being overweight increases the risk of heart attack, gynecological problems and infertility.
Obesity costs the lives of more than 100,000 people in the United States each year, and the cost of the problem reaches $ 117 billion a year.
About 1.6 billion adults are overweight worldwide, according to the WHO. Once considered a problem only in high-income countries, overweight has spread to poorer countries in recent years. At least 20 million children under the age of 5 worldwide are overweight.
