Title
The changing relationship of obesity and disability, 1988-2004.
Authors
Alley, Dawn E; Chang, Virginia W
Abstract
Recent studies suggest that the obese population may have been growing healthier since the 1960s, as indicated by a decrease in mortality and cardiovascular risk factors. However, whether these improvements have conferred decreased risk for disability is unknown. The obese population may be living longer with better-controlled risk factors but paradoxically experiencing more disability.
