Also, increasing rates of obesity are leading to a higher prevalence of one of its main comorbidities, type 2 diabetes, which stood at 8% in this year’s report.
“Those are really troubling figures when we think down the road about the future of cardiovascular disease in America,” Arnett told MedPage Today.
While 68% of adults are overweight or obese, more than a third (35%) are fully obese. For children, 32% are overweight or obese and 17% are fully obese.
Inactivity is high for both adults and children as well. A third of adults said they didn’t get any leisure-time physical activity, while 18% of high-school girls and 10% of high-school boys didn’t get 60 minutes a day of moderate activity over the course of a week.
Changing those behaviors is clearly a large challenge, Arnett said, but clinicians can also go after “lower-hanging fruit.” Particularly, high blood pressure — which accounts for 41% of cardiovascular disease mortality — should be targeted, she said.
Arnett added that high cholesterol would be another “low-hanging fruit” to target, as 14% of adults currently have uncontrolled high cholesterol, above 240 mg/dL.
