Do not rush calm even if you are not currently overweight and obesity (overweight). Keep an eye on the size of waist circumference proportionately even your body and free from excess weight.

Why? The results of a study of the population in the U.S. for 30 years shows that 9 out of 10 men and 7 out of 10 women eventually overweight.

Half of the men and women who do not have a weight problem when young, even middle-aged, still end up having excess weight. One third of a quarter of women and men continue to grow even weight to overweight.

Everyone knows that overweight and obesity can cause various diseases. Obesity increases the risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and arthritis. In addition, people who are overweight have a risk of high blood pressure and cholesterol that increase the potential for liver disease.

”You can not calm down because the risk of obesity always come to haunt,”said Ramachandran Vasan, an associate professor of medicine at Boston University who is lead author of this research paper.

He and other researchers studied data 4000 white adult population over the age of 30 years. When first observed, this research volunteers between the ages of 30 to 59 years. Their condition and then checked again every 4 years. At the end of the study, more than a third were overweight.

Overweight in this study is defined as the weight index value of more than 30. Typically used to measure the ratio between height and weight .

The findings, published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine, Tuesday (4 / 10 in 2005), shows that obesity is a long term problem and the number of sufferers is more data than the results measured in a population at a given time.

”If mapped, 6 out of 10 people overweight and 1 in 3 people are overweight,”said Vasan.

Findings emphasize the importance of monitoring weight.

Dr. Elizabeth G. Nabel, director of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute supporting this research states, these findings show that we can get the problem of overweight and obesity are serious in decades to come. If you do not fight continuously, will cause various health effects.

The number of deaths associated with obesity itself is still debated. For example, in the U.S.. In early 2005, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP) U.S. states that obesity is only caused 25,814 deaths every year, or much smaller than the records of government agencies that reached 365 thousand.

On the other hand, some researchers do not agree with the conclusion that organizations representing the food and restaurant industries, which mentions that the disease-related by weight have been greatly exaggerated.

Responding to the Framingham study, Mark Vander Weg, a Mayo Clinic researcher who studied obesity, said that the research is one way to track a group of individuals in the long run.

Unfortunately this study did not involve a small number of people who have a very high risk of obesity. In addition, most middle aged people now have weight and obesity are not like the sample used in the study.

Although more research needs to be done in order to represent the population as a whole, at least this research into the early evidence is clearly to develop prevention and treatment strategies are needed.
