Obesity rate decline
After rising at dramatic rates for much of the past decade, obesity rates appear to be leveling off, according to a new report from Gallup-Healthways. The findings suggest that fewer people may be at risk for developing diabetes and requiring a prescription to buy Actos.
After rising at dramatic rates for much of the past decade, obesity rates appear to be leveling off, according to a new report from Gallup-Healthways. The findings suggest that fewer people may be at risk for developing diabetes and requiring a prescription to buy Actos. The Well-Being Index indicates that the obesity rate fell in 2011 to 26.1 percent. This is down from 26.6 percent in 2010 and 26.5 percent in 2009. However, despite this progress, experts said the number of overweight people was still far too high. "While these numbers are encouraging, the rate of obesity remains troublesome, and we believe it's necessary to remain vigilant to reduce obesity rates and increase healthy behaviors to lessen the rate of chronic illnesses and future healthcare costs," said Ben Leedle, the president and CEO of Healthways. Obesity is considered the leading risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes, a condition characterized by persistently high blood sugar levels. It is possible to manage glucose levels with a prescription to buy Actos, but the condition is incurable. This underscores the importance of prevention. |
