The Fat, While Happy,
Warned of Shorter Life
Uncle Sam is getting too fat.
The lean, lanky fellow portrayed as symbolic of America is ,acquiring a middle-age obesity which probably bodes no good.
This is the warning of Dr. J. R. Hundley, chief of the Public Health Service’^ Laboratory of Nutrition.
It seems partly a case of “not being able to stand prosperity,” he says.
Recent statistics have indicated that 25 to 30 per cent of American adults are obese. These per-' centages may reach as high as 60 per cent'in women of the 50-to-70 age group. A recent study of 10,000 persons being examined for life insurance showed that 30 per cent of the women and 26 per cent of the men were over-weight by at least 10 per cent. Forty per cent of the men and 20 per cent of the women attending a conference of the American Public Health Association last year were found to be 10 per cent or more above their optimal weight.
Dr. Hundley bases his warning on such figures as these. The fat man is usually pictured, he points out, as a good-natured, happygo-lucky figure.
