Subject(s): Summary: Obesity rates in the United States (U.S.) continue on the upward trajectory. Currently, over 2/3 of Americans are overweight or obese.1 Recent statistical models estimate that by 2030, 42% of adults will be obese, and 11% will be severely obese.2 By 2050, the number of U.S. older adults, defined as persons aged 65 and over, is expected to more than double, rising from 40.2 million to 88.5 million.3 Body mass index (BMI), a measurement of adiposity in relationship to height and weight measurements (weight [kg]/height [m2]) independent of body frame size, gradually increases during most of adult life and reach peak values between 50 and 59 years of age for both men and women.
