overweight group
• Proportion of severely obese 50 percent higher in 2005 than in 2000
• Explosion of weight-loss surgery hasn't cut trend of morbid obesity

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- People who are 100 pounds or more overweight are
the fastest-growing group of overweight people in the United States,
researchers reported Monday.

They found the proportion of the severely obese was 50 percent higher in
2005 than it had been in 2000 -- a startling rate of growth.

"The proportion of people at the high end of the weight scale continues to
increase at a brisk rate despite increased public attention on the risks of
obesity and the increased use of drastic weight loss strategies such as
bariatric surgery," said Roland Sturm, an economist at Rand Corporation, a
nonprofit research institute.

"The explosion in the use of bariatric (weight-loss) surgery has made no
noticeable dent in the trend of morbid obesity," Sturm added in a
statement.

The researchers found that based on self-reported height and weight, which
tends to underestimate the weight part, 3 percent of Americans are already
severely obese -- defined as having a body mass index of 40 or higher.

Body mass index is calculated by dividing weight by the square of a
person's height.

The researchers, whose report will be published later this year in the
journal Public Health, found that the proportion of Americans with a BMI of
30 or more increased by 24 percent between 2000 and 2005.

The proportion of people with a BMI of 40 or more increased by 50 percent
and the proportion of Americans with a BMI of 50 or more increased by 75
percent.

The number of bariatric procedures, which include stomach stapling and
stomach bypass surgery, rose to an estimated 200,000 in 2006 from 13,000 in
1998.

More than 30 percent of Americans are overweight, with a BMI between 25 and
29, and an additional 30 percent are obese, with a BMI of 30 or above.

Overweight people have higher risks of heart disease, diabetes and some
cancer, and obesity makes the risks much more imminent.
