目前，美国有7860万人（33%）患有肥胖症，预计到2030年，这一比例将增加到50%以上。青少年肥胖率的上升助长了这一流行病。肥胖的新科学表明，存在一个临界点，基因重置发生，当脂肪组织功能障碍发生时就会达到这个临界点。越来越清楚的是，肥胖与其说是一种持续的个人选择，不如说是一种生物学事实。在这篇综述中，我们的目的是描述肥胖的流行病学和相关的合并症。
Obesity currently affects 78.6 million people (33%) in the United States and is expected to increase to over 50% of the population by 2030. This epidemic is fueled by the growing rate of obesity in adolescents. The new science of obesity indicates that there is a tipping point at which genetic resetting occurs and it is reached when adipose tissue dysfunction occurs. It is becoming clear that obesity is less an ongoing personal choice than a fact of biology. With this review, we aim to describe the epidemiology of obesity and the associated comorbidities.
