‘Crisis point’ looms as obesity pedicted to surge by 2032
"Spend just a few minutes researching obesity statistics, and it’s easy to see why so many health professionals are alarmed about the number of people who are overweight or obese.
For example, according to a new report from the Trust for America’s Health and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, by 2030, 58.8 percent of adults in Arizona are predicted to be obese.
The report also discusses the health issues that can result from these statistics. For example, if people throughout Arizona don’t do anything to change their current rate of gaining weight by 2032, obesity could contribute to more than 725,000 new cases of type 2 diabetes, more than 1.5 million new cases of coronary heart disease and stroke, and more than 1.4 million new cases of hypertension."
