Recent statistics shows that the number of girls using medicine has increased to the double in 2002 and 2005 in the United States. The main reason for this increase is obesity.

These drugs are made to treat adults for heart disease which are caused by eating too much and lack of exercises. Also there was an increase of the usage of blood pressure, cholesterol, asthma and depression medications and drugs by teens.

This research studied the prescription medicine records of 3.5 million children with private health insurance between 2002 and 2005. The researchers found that there is an increase of using heart disease and type 2 medicine and drugs.

The study which took 4 years of testing and analysis found that teenagers’

and children’s use of heart related medicine has increased as Emily Cox, senior director of research at Express Scripts said. The results showed that there is an increase in type 2 prescriptions among girls aged between 10 and 14 by 166 percent and an increase of type 2 prescriptions of 135 percent among girls older than 15 years.
