WASHINGTON – A recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reveals that a majority of adults in the United States, approximately 71%, experience fatigue. The analysis indicates that fatigue affects women and younger adults more often than other demographic groups. The CDC's findings provide a nationwide overview of self-reported fatigue levels among the adult population. Researchers compiled data to identify patterns in how different segments of the U.S. population perceive and experience fatigue. Specific details within the report highlight the prevalence of fatigue across various age ranges and genders. Women consistently reported higher rates of fatigue compared to men. Similarly, adults in younger age brackets showed a greater tendency to experience fatigue when compared to older adults.
