Abstract

In the past decade, sedentary lifestyles, atherogenic high calorie diets, and weight gains have characterized adolescents and adults in the United States and in many countries across the globe.^1,2 Indeed, a recent report² estimated the prevalences of overweight and obese people in the U.S. above 60 and 30%, respectively. This is not a unique burden for the U.S., but reflects a worldwide trend demonstrating an increased prevalence in metabolic risk factors^3,4 including visceral obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia with abnormal values for triglycerides and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), hypertension, and (if measured) prothrombotic and inflammatory markers.
