Assuming the data are correct and deaths are down, you are reversing the trend.
"The U.S. death rates from heart disease and stroke have fallen by about 30 percent this decade but there are ominous signs that the worrisome obesity epidemic could snuff out the progress, experts said on Monday...Maybe the "tidal wave" will wash all of you away.
...there are signs of trouble for the future.
Among women 35 to 54, evidence is emerging indicating the first uptick in heart disease and stroke death rates for the first time in four decades, Lloyd-Jones said. Among men in the same age group, there is evidence that the death rate declines are flattening out but a reversal has not yet been detected.
This could be the harbinger of a 'coming tidal wave of problems from the obesity epidemic,' Lloyd-Jones said...
...the cascade of health effects from worrisome rates of obesity could reverse the progress, according to the report. Government figures show that 26 percent of Americans are obese, and state rates reach as high as 33 percent.
Obesity raises a person's risk of heart disease, stroke, some types of cancer, the most common form of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other problems."
