Abstract

Nearly one-fourth of all Americans age 20 or older are obese, meaning that they are 30 or more pounds over their ideal weight. Obesity is linked to 5 of the 10 leading causes of death in the United States, including diabetes. Nationwide, costs of obesity are estimated at nearly $100 billion.
