The Health Risks Associated With Increased Weight

Obesity and Mortality

  • Approximately 300,000 adult deaths in the United States each year are attributable to unhealthy dietary habits and physical inactivity or sedentary behavior.
  • Obese individuals have a 50 to 100 percent increased risk of death from all causes, compared with normal-weight individuals.
  • Life expectancy of a moderately obese person could be shortened by 2 to 5 years.

Diabetes

  • Among people diagnosed with type 2 (noninsulin-dependent) diabetes, 67% have a BMI > 27 and 46% have a BMI > 30.
  • About 17 million people in the U.S. have type 2 diabetes, accounting for more than 90 percent of diabetes cases.
  • An additional 20 million have impaired glucose tolerance, sometimes called pre-diabetes, which is a strong risk factor for developing diabetes later in life.
  • An estimated 70 percent of diabetes risk in the U.S. can be attributed to excess weight.
