Prprtin Prcess Of the Medicare ppulatin, 37 percent are verweight, and 18 percent are bese. Between 1991 and 1998, the prevalence f besity amng persns age increased by 45 percent (American Obesity Assciatin). Accrding t a 1998 survey, nly 52 percent f adults age 50 r lder reprted being asked during rutine medical check-ups abut physical activity r exercise. The likelihd f being asked abut exercise during a rutine check-up declined with age (Center fr the Advancement f Health, 2004).

In ne study it was fund that a BMI f less than 22 kg per m2 in wmen and less than 23.5 in men is assciated with increased mrtality.
