Quote:NEW YORK (AP) — The nation’s obesity epidemic continues to grow, led by an alarming increase among women. For the first time, more than 4 in 10 U.S. women are obese, according to new government health statistics.

Obesity rates for men and women in the U.S. had been roughly the same for about a decade. But in recent years, women have surged ahead and now just over 40 percent of women are obese, compared to 35 percent of men.

The percentages were reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in two articles published online Tuesday by the Journal of the American Medical Association. The numbers are based on small government survey that is considered the best measure of the nation’s obesity problem.

Though it is not altogether surprising to health researchers because the nation has long been growing more obese, it is “scary” that the statistic has reached 40 percent for women, said Dana Hunnes, a dietitian who sees obese patients at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles.

“It’s a really alarming figure, and it’s alarming that it’s continuing to go up despite government calls to action on weight loss and healthy eating,” she said.

Why the problem is getting worse for women faster than for men remains somewhat of a mystery to health researchers. “I don’t know if anyone truly knows for sure,” Hunnes said. Experts say there are a range of possible explanations, including that many women are satisfied with a larger body size.

The rate of obesity in women is also higher than in men across the world, although far lower overall than in the U.S. According to the World Health Organization, 15 percent of women worldwide and 11 percent of men are obese.

Obesity, which means not merely overweight, but seriously overweight, is considered one of the nation’s leading public health problems because it can trigger diabetes and lead to heart disease and other serious health problems. Until the early 1980s, only about 1 in 6 adults were obese.

The problem is not increasing as dramatically as it was, but the new numbers show it is clearly not improving, said Dr. Felipe Lobelo, an Emory University researcher who focuses on obesity and physical activity.

Researchers looked at obesity rates among different age groups and along racial lines and found wide disparities, mainly ones that have persisted for years.

Obesity continues to be most common among black women. About 57 percent of black women are obese. In contrast, about 47 percent of Hispanic women, 38 percent of white women, and 12 percent of Asian women are obese.

Among men of different races, obesity rates cluster much closer together — at 35 to 38 percent for blacks, Hispanics, and whites.

The researchers also found:

—About 38 percent of all adults are obese.

—About 17 percent of children are obese, which is the same as earlier reports.

—Obesity rates have been steadily increasing in adolescents since 1988 and now are at 21 percent, but have been stable in kids ages 6 to 11 in recent years at 20 percent.

Obesity is calculated by dividing a person’s weight by their height to produce a number called the body mass index , or BMI. A BMI of 25 or greater is considered overweight, and a BMI of 30 and above is obese. A person who is 5 foot 4, the average height for U.S. women, is considered obese at a weight of 174 pounds or more. A person who is 5 foot 9, about the average height for men, is deemed obese at 203 pounds.

The findings are from a regular government survey of about 5,000 Americans every two years who are weighed and measured. The new figures are from surveys done in 2013 and 2014. Last fall, the CDC released an obesity report using some of the same data, but the new reports provide more detailed look at obesity numbers through time, including slightly higher prevalence figures for adult men and women.

This "beauty at any size" culture we live in is turning women into disgusting fat pigs.

That's part of the reason why so many white men have "yellow fever". When I was in Asia, seeing so many slender, feminine women with long hair makes a man feel like a man, and actually protect and find a good woman. In the United States, so many women have deliberately uglified their bodies with excess fat. There are still a few good, slender young women in America, but you have to search hard and fast.

I posit that the drop in marriage rates in the USA are attributed in part to the rise in female obesity.

No surprises as such. It's a combination of poor nutrition, horrible processed so-called food that's being made by big industry, and women's tendency to eat impulsively for comfort.
The black American female obesity level of 57% is just insane. What mskes them such outliers?

All those starving kids in Africa going hungry while obese SJWs demand the right to be able to engorge themselves and be 'accepted'. When they eat enough per meal to feed a starving African family for a week.

Fucking ROFLOL........... if that's not the biggest PC bullshit line I've ever heard by someone in fear of speaking the truth, I don't know what is.

They are NOT satisfied with larger bodies. They are just tired of having to think about it all the time, aka, lazy and self-loathing.

Women get fatter quicker than men because IT'S THEIR JOB ON PLANET EARTH TO RAISE YOUNG AND SUCKLE THEM.

They also eat - all the fucking time - and most have no self-control.

THAT'S why they are so many fat fucks in America. And yes, the dietary options in the States is fucking sick. Junk food EVERYWHERE. Just how the mega-corps want it - make them sick with the food they sell, fix them with the pills they sell. It's genius.

Hey man, don't make fun of fat people.

They've got enough on their plate.

Ba dum tshh.

I will admit the BMI is a flawed test but mostly for men as women don't usually have the muscle to throw off a BMI. I think they should really determine obesity with a body fat percentage test as it would be much more accurate.

That may only drop the obesity rate 1% for females and maybe 3-5% for men but it would be a more realistic picture of what's happening. Either way America is getting fat and this will continue with the over abundance of food we have.

Women work
Women drink alcohol too much
Too much food (lower quality too) is around
Women don't get shamed as much
People are ok making excuses for themselves and others

= way more fat asses

I don't blame a fat chick for being fat. I blame the dozen beta orbiters she has.

To be honest if that first woman dropped about 10-20 lbs she'd be pretty hot.

The corresponding obese male statistic was 35%. If only the numbers were reverse or skewed the other way...50% of men are obese and 35% of women. As long as you were relatively in shape it would be a poosy paradise more than it is now in america.

Once I made that connection myself - it was a lightbulb moment of "ohhh I get it now".

Also this is 4 in 10 are OBESE. Not overweight. OBESE. That's a huge number. Factor in "regular fat" and "overweight" and the number is probably closer to 13 out of 15.

Actually Sandstorm you're wrong. But not for the reasons you think. Saying they are 'tired' of having to think about it all the time is missing and losing the point. There is NO incentive for women in America to lose weight. Yes, immediately you can say "for health reasons", but that's the same argument for getting someone to quit smoking. Once the "obese barrier" has been crossed- it's very difficult to return. Western society doesn't need to promote fat acceptance (which it does already) because there are plenty of thirsty men trying to make it with that 3 or 4.

I just noticed RIslander's post. He gets it.

That's the placebo effect in marketing; lately I've been thinking of studying marketing just because of all of the subtle, subliminal tricks they use on a daily basis.

For example I've learned that the addiction to smoking that people have may not entirely be "the chemicals" as many people assume, but the simple act of sticking something in one's mouth and sucking on it.

(I heard that this essentially may recreate the infantile feelings of security that an infant had when sucking on his thumb or a pacifier).

So ironically, if chain smokers substituted cigarettes with a pacifier, they might be able to get nearly the same feeling of 'relaxation', minus the lung cancer and $200-300 per month they spend on cigarettes.

Tangental but... my father quit smoking by replacing cigarettes with a pencil. When he craved cigarettes he would instead get out his pencil and essentially pretend to smoke it. He smoked regularly for 15 years.

That's why it's all the more depressing she hasn't done it. It's a shame to see a woman just look good when she could put in a little more effort and look great.

It is the same as the entry level domestic residential rental market which has seen rent inflation (in the UK). With land values rising, landlords have no incentive to maintain their assets and the decline of a once tidy and proudly maintained working class area swiftly follows. Landlords will just speculate through buying and selling (the real estate cock carousel). The result is that the UK has some of the lowest quality housing in Western Europe.
