The Obesity and Overweight Crisis in the USA: A Call to Action

The Obesity and Overweight Crisis in the USA: A Call to Action

The USA is at a tipping point with the growing crisis of obesity and overweight. Research predicts that by 2050, 213 million adults (aged 25 and older) and 43 million children and adolescents (aged 5-24) will be living with overweight or obesity. These numbers highlight a pressing need for effective solutions, not only to safeguard individual health but also to address the far-reaching social and economic implications of this epidemic.

At NewMe Health Clinic, we are committed to combating this crisis by providing comprehensive and personalized obesity management solutions. Our clinic offers a range of evidence-based treatments, from lifestyle and nutritional counseling to advanced medical interventions, tailored to each patient’s needs.

The Alarming Statistics In 2021:

– 15.1 million children and young adolescents, 21.4 million adolescents, and 172 million adults in the USA were classified as overweight or obese.

Southern states, such as Mississippi and Texas, had the highest prevalence rates. For instance, 50% of adolescent girls in Mississippi were living with obesity.

Without intervention, these numbers are projected to increase dramatically by 2050, with one in five children, one in three adolescents, and two in three adults expected to have obesity.
