Medical Translation Report Shows U.s. Is Getting Fatter!

According to a new Medical Translation report from the Center for Disease Control

, obesity rates in the United States continue to increase. The latest figures show that 25.6-percent of the population was obese in 2007 and 26.1 percent was obese in 2008. The largest concentration of obese people in the United States is located in the South, with obesity rates greater than 30 percent.

The medical translation professional pointed out that the growth in obesity has contributed significantly to the alarming growth in Healthcare costs over the past decade. Unfortunately, obesity rates in America are unlikely to decline during the recession. The economic meltdown has increased stress levels in all Americans and has contributed to weight gain. In addition, with millions out of work and less money to spend on food, Americans are unable to afford healthy foods. In addition, efforts to increase physical activity in adults in and youth have been unsuccessful.

Another Medical Translation worker went on to explain that Americans must take personal responsibility and begin exercising more, consuming fewer calories and sticking to healthy diets. While the recession contributes to the problem, it is a relatively small contributor. People must be willing to make better personal decisions.
