*SHOCKING: 90 Percent Of American Men Are Overfat!*

Researchers reported earlier this year in the journal Frontiers of Public Health that as much as 76 percent of the world’s population may not just be fat- but they are overfat.

Does your waist measure over half your height?

If so, you might be part of the international overfat pandemic. A recent article, released in Frontiers in Public Health, suggests it to be even more common in developed countries where up to 90 percent of adult males and 50 percent children may struggle with this condition. In the top overfat countries, 80 percent of women fall under this classification.

The issue is particularly pervasive in the English-speaking countries of the United States and New Zealand, however also in Iceland as well as Greece where people are normally thought to be healthy. This trend might be bad news for developing countries also, because they have followed the pattern of developed nations in the growing overfat pandemic.

The term overfat describes the existence of excess body fat that can impair health, and might include even normal-weight non-obese people. Excess body fat, especially abdominal fat, is associated with increased risk of chronic illness, increased morbidity and mortality, and reduced quality of life.

Researchers Philip Maffetone, Ivan Rivera-Dominguez and Paul B. Laursen reported earlier this year in the journal Frontiers of Public Health that up to 76 percent of the world’s population might be overfat. Now these same scientists have focused their efforts on data from 30 of the leading developed countries, with even more alarming findings.
