Abstract:

Overweight and obesity have reached epidemic proportions globally along with an adoption of a westernized lifestyle characterized by a combination of excessive food intake and inadequate physical activity. In the United States, the prevalence of obesity doubled during the past two decades, and currently 30% of the US adult population is classified as obese. An additional 35% of US adults are overweight but not obese. Children and adolescents are not immune to the epidemic. Among US children and adolescents, 16% are overweight and an additional 15% are at risk of overweight.
