The prevalence of metabolic health in American adults is 'alarmingly low,' even among people who are normal weight, according to a new study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Gillings School of Global Public Health. Only one in eight Americans is achieving optimal metabolic health. This carries serious implications for public health since poor metabolic health leaves people more vulnerable to developing Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other serious health issues. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181128115045.htm?fbclid=IwAR2L8vyae3cRTNlvzHt0gx6X0D28wvaSYxhfzSvBCJ2P6dlXRRrhzBL9KOo
