The Weight of the Nation
 Weight of the Nation
The Obesity Epidemic
 Most important public health problem
For the first time in human history, in the year 2000 it was
estimated that there were more overweight than underweight
people.

A Nation in Crisis
 Our nation stands at a crossroads
 The present obesity epidemic threatens progress
related to increasing American’s quality and years
of healthy life
 Result – a decreased ability to compete in the
global economy.

Nation 2010
The Problem - Obesity
 One-third of U.S.
adults (33.8%) are
obese – 17 million
 Approximately 6%
with a BMI over
40kg/m2
The prevalence of obesity among adults changed relatively little during the 1960s
and 1970s, but it increased sharply over the ensuing decades – from 13.4% in
1980 to 34.4% in 2008.

Sizing up the Obesity Challenge
 One in every three children (31.7%) ages two to 19 is
overweight or obese.
 One-third of all children born in the year 2000 are expected
to develop diabetes during their lifetime.
Sizing up the Obesity Challenge
 The current generation may even be on track to have a
shorter lifespan than their parents

Obesity more Common Among Certain
Racial and Ethnic Groups
 Obesity rates are highest
among non-Hispanic black
girls and Hispanic boys.

 Obesity is particularly
common among American
Indian/Native Alaskan
children
Military Readiness
 More than a third of all Americans ages 17-24 are unqualified
for military service because they are too heavy.
 The Army has started to overhaul food choices on bases.

Firefighters
 Half of incoming and
current firefighters are
overweight, while almost
one-third are obese.
 More firefighters die of
heart attacks while on the
job than from any other
cause.

Police Officers
 Potential recruits are overweight, and many have trouble
passing the initial police academy fitness requirement.

The Obesity Epidemic
 It came quickly, with little fanfare, and was out of
control before the nation noticed.

We can Make a Difference
 AAFCS has addressed challenging social
and economic issues for over 100years
What can we do?
The Obesity Awareness Community and
Taking it to the Streets Campaign is calling on
all FCS professionals to:
1. Take part in the recommended level of
physical activity each day—at least 30
minutes
Thirty minutes of any type of moderate
physical activity
What can we do?
Choose healthy foods each day based on the 2012
Dietary Guidelines
 2
How can our Impact be felt?
 Thirty or more minutes of physical activity
can save $500 in healthcare cost per year.
 If 50 members in each affiliate take part in the
recommended physical activity = $25,000 of
savings per affiliate each year
 If each affiliate gets 50 members involve =
$1,250,000 of healthcare savings
8 Week Obesity Awareness
campaign
 Begin January 5, 2013 (to coincide with New
Year’s resolutions)
 Finish on March 5, 2013
 Forms for documenting activity and healthy
eating practices will be sent to each Affiliate
President
 Each Affiliate will have a Community of Practice
member contact
We need your $500 to make a
difference!
