I really don’t know how useful these statistics are.
49% of Americans have hypertension or take hypertension medicine.
Almost 50% of Americans are obese. (Obesity is measured using the Body Mass Index, and imo the BMI calculator is calibrated so low as to be ridiculous but nevertheless that is the measurement).
16% of Americans have diabetes.
The stats are on the CDC website: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/diabetes.htm
Just click on the button on the left by disease state and the stats will appear on the page.
Good point.
Yes. Just about anyone who lifts weight is "obese". You put on some muscle mass, it doesn't matter how little fat you have on your body. You can be very ripped and the number from the scale will result in a finding of "obese".
