To the dismay of clinicians and public health professionals, obesity rates remain high and fundamentally unchanged among women and girls in the United States. The latest data show that 34.9% of adults and 16.9 % of youths are obese. There are marked racial and socioeconomic disparities in obesity in the United States with no appreciable improvements. Although regional variations exist, physical inactivity rates are as high as 43%. Fruit and vegetable consumption was higher in women compared with men, however, the rates remain quite low (36.1% fruit >2/d, 30.9% vegetables >3/d). Obesity impacts health outcomes across the reproductive lifespan.
令临床医生和公共卫生专业人员沮丧的是，美国女性和女孩的肥胖率仍然很高，且基本没有变化。最新数据显示，34.9%的成年人和16.9%的青少年肥胖。美国肥胖现象存在明显的种族和社会经济差异，且没有明显改善。尽管存在地区差异，但身体活动不足率高达43%。女性的水果和蔬菜摄入量高于男性，然而，这一比例仍然很低（36.1%的女性每天吃水果超过两份，30.9%的女性每天吃蔬菜超过三份）。肥胖会影响整个生殖寿命期的健康结果。
