Joint Pain Common Among Obese People

How ironic. The joints of the too-fat-to-move ache.

The most recent News and Numbers from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality reveals that in 2009, joint pain was experienced by 58% of obese adults aged 20+ in the USA and nearly 69% of extremely obese adults.

In addition, researchers found that 15% of obese adults said they had diabetes, 42% reported having a heart condition, and 42% reported having high cholesterol. Among individuals classified as extremely obese (BMI of 40 or more), the percentages with diabetes or heart conditions were generally higher.

And look at all the other benefits of fatosity!

Kudos, fatsos.
