"One in three UK adults-or 13 million people-will be obese by 2012, finds research published ahead of print in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health."In the USA, the fatsos are already there.
"The prevalence of obesity (BMI≥30) continues to be a health concern for adults, children and adolescents in the United States. Data from the most recent NHANES survey1 shows that among adult men the prevalence of obesity was 31.1% in 2003—2004, and 33.3% in 2005—2006, a small but not statistically significant change. Among adult women, the prevalence of obesity in 2003—2004 was 33.2%, and in 2005—2006 was 35.3%, again a small but not significant change."Who says that Americans are losing their leadership position in the world?
