Approximately half of these costs were paid by Medicaid and Medicare. The economic cost of obesity in the United States was about $117 billion in 2000. Many people live sedentary lives; in fact, 40% of adults in the United States do not participate in any leisure time physical activity. Overweight adolescents have a 70% chance of becoming overweight or obese adults.
