Dollars to Doughnuts Hoover Digest: Research and Opinion on Public Policy No. 3 (Summer 2007). Also: http://www.hoover.org/publications/digest/8101162.html Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Hoover Press Keyword(s): Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Morbidity; Obesity Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The number of obese Americans has sharply increased in the past 30 years. The typical American diet—which too often counts doughnuts and french fries as staples—is not what doctors and nutritionists would like it to be. Also, many of us do not exercise frequently enough. Our gluttony and sloth lead inexorably to bulging waistlines, chronic disease, missed workdays, high health-care costs, and premature death. To many minds, these problems suggest a first-order public health crisis. |
