Welfare Report: Obesity is not a secret that, nationally, we gain weight – recent statistics show that there are now twice as obese Americans just thirty years ago. And with the extra pounds increases the risk of chronic diseases – such as diabetes and high blood pressure – so that the worsening of the epidemic should certainly put more pressure on our health care system. Obesity is not so selective when it comes to take victims – regardless of age, sex or race, millions of people are affected by it. But a report * published recently by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC for short in English) indicates that certain population groups are more affected than others. Data collected by the National Survey of Health and Nutrition Examination 2003-2004, NHANES known by the acronym in English, said such disparities – Obesity affects 45% of the black population, almost 37% of the Hispanic population in contrast with a lower prevalence rate of around 31% in the white population. Not surprisingly, in addition, that report differences geographical. There are higher rates of obesity in the regions of the South and Midwest of the country, compared with the values of the Northeast and West.

The report cites three factors that could explain the differences between the populations – the habits of physical activity, eating patterns and attitudes towards body weight. Compared with whites, for example, black and Hispanic population shows less likely to participate in regular recreational activities – in part because members of minority communities and low income may have fewer places in which physical exercise safely. It has also been documented that in neighborhoods with large minority populations are less supermarket chains, food stores or markets for fruits and vegetables and more fast food restaurants – which means you do not have many healthy options available. Moreover, even if they have access to them, the healthier foods are relatively more expensive than fast food loaded with fat and sugar.
