Prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and obesity-related health risk factors, 2001.
Ali H. Mokdad,Earl S. Ford,Barbara A. Bowman,William H. Dietz,Frank Vinicor,Virginia S Bales,James S. Marks +6 more
TL;DR: Overweight and obesity were significantly associated with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, asthma, arthritis, and poor health status, and increases in obesity and diabetes continue in both sexes, all ages, all races, all educational levels, and all smoking levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obesity as a medical problem
TL;DR: The global epidemic of obesity results from a combination of genetic susceptibility, increased availability of high-energy foods and decreased requirement for physical activity in modern society, and should be regarded as an epidemic that threatens global well being.
