The study reveals a stark increase in obesity rates since 1990, with nearly three quarters of U.S. adults now classified as overweight or obese, highlighting public health concerns.
Marie Ng, co-author of the study, stated, 'I would consider it an epidemic,' emphasizing the severity of obesity as an urgent health crisis.
Dr. Sarah Armstrong noted that current policies are inadequate, stating, 'It's going to require a lot more attention and a lot more investment than we are currently giving the problem.'
The alarming data shows that over one in three children in the U.S. are now overweight or obese, with forecasts predicting nearly 260 million Americans will be affected by 2050.
