2 Health Hazards of Obesity Overweight BMI 25 to 29.9 kg/m² Obese BMI > 30kg/m² Severely obese >40 kg/m² Trends in Overweight* Prevalence (%) Adults 18 and Older, US, Less than 50% 50 to 55% More than 55% State did not participate in survey *Body mass index of 25.0 kg/m 2 or greater. Source: Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, CD ROM ( , 1998) and Public Use Data Tape (2004, 2005), National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1997, 2000, 2005, Incidence of Obesity Obesity and Severe Obesity Forecasts Through 2030 Eric A. Finkelstein, PhD, MHA, Olga A. Khavjou, MA, Hope Thompson, BA,Justin G. Trogdon, PhD, Liping Pan, MD, MPH, Bettylou Sherry, PhD, RD, William Dietz, MD, PhD Background: Previous efforts to forecast future trends in obesity applied linear forecasts assuming that the rise in obesity would continue unabated. However, evidence suggests that obesity prevalence may be leveling off. Purpose: This study presents estimates of adult obesity and severe obesity prevalence through 2030 based on nonlinear regression models. The forecasted results are then used to simulate the savings that could be achieved through modestly successful obesity prevention efforts. Methods: The study was conducted in and used data from the 1990 through 2008 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). The analysis sample included nonpregnant adults aged 18 years. The individual level BRFSS variables were supplemented with state level variables from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the American Chamber of Commerce Research Association, and the Census of Retail Trade. Future obesity and severe obesity prevalence were estimated through regression modeling by projecting trends in explanatory variables expected to influence obesity prevalence. Results: Linear time trend forecasts suggest that by 2030, 51% of the population will be obese. The model estimates a much lower obesity prevalence of 42% and severe obesity prevalence of 11%. If obesity were to remain at 2010 levels, the combined savings in medical expenditures over the next 2 decades would be $549.5 billion. Conclusions: The study estimates a 33% increase in obesity prevalence and a 130% increase in severe obesity prevalence over the next 2 decades. If these forecasts prove accurate, this will further hinder efforts for healthcare cost containment. Finkelstein EA et al, Am J Prev Med
