The idea is to write an article intended for general public who can read and understand the prevalence of this disease/ obesity, why its so important to address this issue and what they can do about this.
I would like an introduction para describing prevalence of the disease in US. prevalence increasing in children. prevalence in rural v/s urban setting. certain states more obese than others? certain areas more obese than others? certain races more obese than others?
In the body of the article, I would like to discuss points including how is obesity diagnosed, creating small tables for BMI and waist circumference as per CDC guidelines. what causes obesity and risk factors associated with obesity.
economic impact of obesity.
finally how can obesity be prevented? consider including diet chart focusing on carbohydrate, protein, fat intake.
how can obesity be treated? briefly name the medicines used and psychotherapy for eating disorders like overeating , binge eating , bulemia etc.
finally a conclusion paragraph recognizing the disease to talk to your health care provider.
The writer please feel free to include any other interesting points besides above.
