Demographics show baby boomers are bulging a bit too much around the waistline. At a 20th high school reunion in Monrovia, Calif., many have piled on the pounds since their teen-age days, reported CBS 2 News' Ann Martin. Doctors say an average weight gain of 25 pounds can be dangerous.
Doctors say the body mass index reveals the real problem.
Toni Watson is among the 50 percent of female baby boomers who are overweight, said Martin. Two-thirds of male baby boomers are overweight. Dr. Doram asked Watson. Watson now weighs 171 pounds, and her body mass index is a dangerous 30, Martin said. She recently developed diabetes.
