Researchers at King's College London found that the probability of "fat man" losing normal weight is 1/2 10, and the probability of "fat woman" is1124.
Even if you become that one percent, don't be too happy. According to the research,112 men and110 women can lose 5% of their weight every year. But 53% of them will rebound within two years, and 78% will recover within five years. The findings were published in the American Journal of Public Health.
A report released by OECD) 20 14 shows that more than half of the adults in OECD countries are overweight or obese, of which 18% belongs to the latter. In Mexico, New Zealand and the United States, more than one-third of adults are obese; In Australia, Canada, Chile and Hungary, the proportion is more than a quarter. Relatively speaking, the proportion of adults in Asian countries remains between 2% and 4%.
The recently released Report on Nutrition and Chronic Diseases of China Residents (20 15) also pointed out that the overweight rate of adults aged 18 and above in China was 30. 1%, and the obesity rate was 1 1.9%, which were 7% higher than that in 2002.
International body mass index (BMI) is usually used to measure the degree of obesity, that is, weight (kg) divided by the square of height (m). Results The range of 20-25 was normal, over 25 was overweight and over 30 was obese.
/kloc-since the 0/8th century, with the continuous improvement of income, education and living standards, people's weight and height have gradually increased. For our ancestors, weight gain is more conducive to health and longevity. Previous studies have pointed out that the evolutionary mechanism will help humans maintain a sustainable maximum weight and prevent obese people from losing weight.
But now many people's weight has exceeded the healthy line. The OECD report also pointed out that the life expectancy of severely obese people is 8- 10 years shorter than that of ordinary weight people. On the basis of normal body weight, every increase of 15 kg will increase the risk of premature death by about 30%.
According to the data of the World Health Organization, at least 2.8 million people die every year because of being overweight or obese.
In most countries, obesity-related expenditure accounts for 1%-3% of the total health care expenditure (the ratio in the United States is 5%- 10%). With the increase of obesity-related diseases, this cost will continue to rise.
Everyone knows the disadvantages of obesity, but it is not easy to lose it. It's not because you lack perseverance that you can't lose weight.
