Poll: Few Are Aware Of the Full Range Of Health Problems Associated with Obesity

Poll:  Few People Know Obesity Can Cause More Harm To Health Than Just Heart Disease, Diabetes by Associated Press.  Washington Post.  January 6, 2013.

The poll showed little awareness of the impacts of obesity on cancer, arthritis, sleep apnea, and infertility.  High blood pressures and strokes were fairly low on the list of impacts.  Also, even though government figures show that two-thirds of U.S. adults are overweight, about half of people  think their weight is about right.
