Policy Brief UCLA Cent Health Policy Res. 2010 Aug(PB2010-7):1-12.
The prevalence of both diabetes and obesity has grown significantly in California. Six million adults are obese and an additional 9.3 million are overweight. Obesity is a significant risk factor for diabetes; more than two million adults have been diagnosed with diabetes in California. Obesity and diabetes disproportionately affect people of color, the poor and those with the least education in California. Policy and environmental changes that promote and encourage physical activity and healthy eating will likely prove most effective in combating obesity and related conditions
加利福尼亚州糖尿病和肥胖症的患病率均显著上升。600万成年人肥胖，另有930万超重。肥胖是糖尿病的一个重要风险因素；在加利福尼亚州，超过200万成年人已被诊断患有糖尿病。肥胖症和糖尿病对加利福尼亚州的有色人种、贫困人口以及受教育程度最低的人群影响尤为严重。促进和鼓励体育活动及健康饮食的政策和环境变化可能在对抗肥胖症及相关疾病方面最为有效。
