Washington (SmartAboutHealth) - A new study has been released and has revealed that roughly 70% of Americans are either overweight or obese.
The study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association and looked into the current state of obesity in the U.S. and where it is heading.
The new findings have shown that from 1999 through 2008, the number of men who were obese was around 27.5% and 32.2%.
For women, the number wa sbetween 33.2% and 35.5%. When you combinese numbers, roughly 70% of all people are obese in the U.S.
The good news coming out of this is that the number of men and women who are obese is no longer on the rise.
On top of that, those who are overweight or obese are apparently nrabroad
getting any fatter.
It is nrabroad
time to celebrate just yet, but this is surely a sign that the word is being spread and progress is being made in regards to Americans getting healthier.
