Baby Boomers joint woes

Title: Boomers' joint woes , Prevention, 00328006, Mar2006, Vol. 58, Issue 3


More baby boomers are obese by midlife than their parents were at the same age, and they are more hobbled by weight-related osteoarthritis as a result, new Harvard research shows.


• Midlife obesity in baby boomers' parents (born 1926 to 1945): 16%


• Midlife obesity in baby boomers (born 1946 to 1964): 30%


• Increase in obesity-related osteoarthritis from 1971 to 2002: 465%
