discussion
read the following reports and then in small groups discuss what you think of after reading the reports.
the latest data from an ongoing government-sponsored survey of the health and nutrition of the u. s. population indicated that nearly 65% of american adults were overweight and more than 30% were obese. the most disquieting finding was that more than 80% of all black women over the age of 40 were overweight and half were obese. in a separate report focusing on children and adolescents, 15% of those aged 16-19 were overweight.
cdc researchers published the disturbing results of a 20-year study that analyzed hospital-discharge records of children. they found that overweight children were increasingly being diagnosed with illnesses formerly seen mainly in overweight or obese adults. these included type ⅱ(non-insulin-dependent)diabetes, gallbladder disease, and sleep apnea. although the overall numbers of children with these serious conditions remained relatively low, the increases over the period 1979-1999 were striking. for example, the diagnosis of gallbladder disease in 6-17-year-olds rose 228%.
a report on obesity among children worldwide by the london-based international obesity task force was presented in may at the annual meeting of the world health assembly, whose decision-making body. the task force estimated that 22 million children under age 5 were overweight or obese. among 10-year-olds, the u. s. had the third highest prevalence of overweight children, after malta and italy. much to the surprise of many health professionals, obesity was found to be a growing problem in less-developed countries. in morocco and zambia, for example, more children were overweight than malnourished. in egypt, chile, mexico, and peru, as many as 25% of children aged 4-10 were overweight or obese.
