Abnormal or excessive body fat accumulation, pose as a risk to health. Grade 2 and 3 obesity= higher all cause mortality. Children eats twice as much calories when they eat out than at home. Between 1977-78, 2000-01 milk consumption decreased by 39 percent. No milk: poor bone health and small stature.

Cluster of conditions increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels that occur together, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Majority of individuals with metabolic syndrome have insulin resistance and/or are obese. Combo of risk factors at ow levels markedly increase cvd risk. Unfit: more likely to develop metabolic syndrome.
