Obesity
Obesity affects more than one in three American adults, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is also associated with more than 200 comorbidities, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and multiple types of cancer. Despite this, there are many efforts underway to empower individuals and communities to combat obesity. The American Medical Association is committed to providing timely information on American obesity for physicians and the general public, including risk factors, research and related health issues.
