2013年6月18日,美国医学会在芝加哥年会上投票通过的一项决议引起全世界的关注,即“承认肥胖是种病,建议采取多种措施与肥胖症作战,并呼吁保险界把肥胖治疗列为医疗开销”。美国成人的肥胖率在过去20年里翻了一番,儿童肥胖率在此期间飙升至原来的3倍。每年与其相关的医疗费用高达2000亿美元,而且还在逐年升高。美国人不但关心自己,也研究中国人,看到结果,他们乐了——中国目前超重和肥胖人口达3.25亿人,增幅超过美国、英国,这个数字在未来20年还可能增加一倍。
On June 18, 2013, a resolution voted by the American Medical Association at the annual meeting in Chicago aroused worldwide concern. “Recognizing that obesity is a disease, it is advisable to take various measures to combat obesity and appeal to the insurance industry Treat obesity as a medical expense. ” The obesity rate in U.S. adults has doubled in the past 20 years, and the rate of childhood obesity has soared threefold during this period. The annual medical expenses related to it are as high as 200 billion U.S. dollars, and it is still increasing year by year. Americans are not only concerned about themselves, but also Chinese people. As a result, they are happy. China currently has 325 million people overweight and obese, an increase more than that of the United States and Britain. This number may double in the next 20 years.
