4. Obesity Impact Today about 1 in 3 children and youth (ages 2-19) in the United States are already overweight or obese. As these obese children grow older, they have a much greater risk than their normal weight peers of developing and dying from chronic diseases in adulthood. Some experts claim that by 2015, 75% of adults will be overweight (BMI > 25) with 41% obese (BMI > 30).

5. Obesity Impact Diabetes on the rise: The rise in childhood obesity is linked to a dramatic rise in the number of children suffering from type 2 diabetes. Higher risk of asthma: Children with serious asthma are more likely to be overweight. Extra weight can make it harder to breathe and can inflame the respiratory tract. Increased risk of heart failure: Being overweight or out of shape makes the heart work harder. Overweight children are more likely to grow up to be overweight adults and more likely to develop heart problems.
