  9. This purple line shows the burden of obesity for the 1976 cohort.
  10. This red line shows the burden of obesity for the 1986 cohort.
  11. Finally, the black triangle shows the burden of obesity for the 1996 cohort. You can see that for younger birth cohorts, the lines are moving up and over to the left.
  12. The lines moving up means that younger birth cohorts are obese in greater numbers for a given age.
  13. For example, by 30-39 years of age, almost 30% of individuals in the 1966 cohort were obese.
  14. In comparison by 30-39 years of age, only 13% of individuals in the 1926 cohort were obese.
  15. The lines moving to the left means that younger generations of US individuals are now experiencing a longer duration of obesity over their lifetime.
  16. For example, the burden of obesity in the 1926 cohort exceeded 20% by the time they were 50-59 years of age.
  17. This level of obesity (>20%) was reached a decade earlier at 40-49 years of age for the 1936 birth cohort.
  18. This level of obesity (>20%) was reached a decade earlier at 30-39 years of age for the 1946 birth cohort.
  19. Finally, this level of obesity (>20%) was reached a decade earlier at 20-29 years of age for the 1976 and 1966 birth cohorts.
  20. This slide shows birth cohort trends in obesity for US female individuals.
  21. This slide shows birth cohort trends in obesity for US female individuals.
  22. This slide shows birth cohort trends in obesity for US white individuals.
