Most women are more concerned with weight than overall health

Half the women surveyed in a new Associated Press-iVillage poll aren’t down with their weight - even the 26 percent of respondents whose body mass index (BMI) is in the normal range.

But apparently women aren’t as concerned with health as with girth: of the 1,000 respondents, just one third said they don’t like their physical condition - despite the fact that obesity and a sedentary lifestyle increase the risk of ailments like heart disease and Type 2 diabetes.
