Weight Gain Eroding Quality Of Life...
Dear Reader,
Just what are we doing to ourselves? New research in the September 2010 issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine finds that as Americans' are getting bigger, our quality of life is falling.
The nationwide study revealed that the number of healthy days per year that we lose due to obesity has more than doubled over the past 20 years, from 7.5 in 1993 to 17 in 2008. During the same time, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have data that shows obesity rates nearly doubling (from 14% to 27%) during this same time period.
The amount of healthy time lost was calculated by using information from self reports on health and daily activity to get at the number of days per year people in the U.S. lost to poor health and added this to data from the CDC. Combined the numbers came up with a first-ever estimate of total healthy time lost as a result of obesity. Well known illnesses associated with obesity include heart disease, diabetes, some cancers, osteoarthritis, high blood pressure and depression according to study co-author Dr. Erica I. Lubetkin, an associate medical professor at The City College of New York.
The study found that most of a woman's loss of healthy days due to obesity was because of illness. Men lost their days as the result of early death.
While what the researchers saw does support a general trend, they found that some groups were more seriously affected than others. Black women lost the greatest amount of time in good health (24 fewer days per year), which is 31% higher than for black men, and 50% higher than for whites.
The study findings support the idea that obesity could overshadow recent hard won gains in public health. Experts believe that the improvements in health that come from decreases in smoking could be wiped out by the growing problem of obesity and the health concerns it brings. The trend, if left unchanged, could have a major impact not only on society but the health care system itself.

Weight Gain Eroding Quality Of Life... Continued...
If obesity affects the ability to live a normal life, the economic strain will
be felt in all sectors. Obese people will end up working fewer years and needing
more support as a result. Medical facilities will need to accommodate heavier
patients with more health problems who probably can't walk or climb stairs.
To avoid what lies ahead, Lubetkin suggests interventions on the scale of what
was done to fight tobacco. Things like getting junk food out of schools, teaching
nutritional basics, having more gym and recess time, discouraging inactive pastimes
like TV watching and computer use are all smart strategies that will have us
moving in the right direction. More emphasis on counseling for weight loss and
offering support, as well as requiring insurance companies to pay for preventative
options could also make a big difference. In the end, making healthy choices
has to be available, affordable and easy so that more people are able to choose
to live this way.
In the meantime, take what steps you can to take charge of your own weight. Not
only will it help improve your physical health, but the overall quality of your
life might just get better too.
To your good health,
