Americans
Getting Fatter Faster
Overall,
26 percent of U.S. men and 28 percent of U.S. women already are obese
by about age 36, according to a new University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill study of adult weight gain among different ethnic groups,
races and sexes.
For still-unknown reasons, black women become obese more than twice as
fast as white women, and the rate for Hispanic women is about midway
between the two. U.S. men of different races and ethnic groups also
put on pounds at varying rates.
"We found Hispanic men became obese 2.5 times faster than U.S.
men of European ancestry," said Dr. Kathleen M. McTigue, a Robert
Wood Johnson clinical scholar at the UNC School of Medicine. "We
saw no difference in the rate of obesity development between black and
non-Hispanic white men until after age 28 when black men in this
country became obese 2.2 times more rapidly than white men."
A report on the new study appears in the June 18 issue of Annals of
Internal Medicine, a professional journal. Besides McTigue,
authors are Drs. Joanne M. Garrett, associate professor of medicine;
and Barry M. Popkin, professor of nutrition of the UNC School of
Public Health.
Researchers analyzed information over time on 9,179 people born
between 1957 and 1964 and enrolled in the National Longitudinal Survey
of Youth beginning in 1979.
More than 80 percent of those who were obese by about age 36 did not
become obese until after ages 20 to 22, although many began gaining
excess weight earlier, McTigue said.
"Based on their gender, ethnicity and body mass index at ages 20
to 22, we could fairly accurately predict who would be obese at ages
35 to 37," she said.
Overall, the prevalence of obesity in U.S. adults between ages 20 and
74 doubled during the past 40 years, from 13 percent to 27 percent of
the population, McTigue said. Sixty-one percent of U.S. adults now are
either obese or overweight.
"Obesity is important for health, and, as health-care
professionals, we need to pay more attention to it," she said.
"In the group we studied, there was substantial obesity at ages
much younger than most of obesity's health complications tend to
occur. Early intervention with such people has the potential to
prevent significant illness and should not be overlooked."
Equally important, the physician said, is preventing obesity in the
first place and focusing more on children and people just entering
adulthood who are only slightly or moderately overweight.
"Since African-American and Hispanic young adults are at
particular risk for obesity, we also need to better understand ethnic
differences in weight development so that we can design effective
interventions," she said.
Obesity receives increasing attention nowadays because it has become
so prevalent in U.S. society, McTigue said. The condition is an
important risk factor for four of the six leading causes of death in
this country -- heart disease, certain cancers, stroke, and diabetes.
It also contributes to less deadly but still troublesome
osteoarthritis, obstructive sleep apnea. and diminished mobility.
