Obesity has continued to be a major epidemic in the United States for both children and adults. With every single U.S. state having an obesity prevalence higher than 20% - that's more than 1 in 5 adults - there is no better time to make a change than now. Of the United States' geographical areas, the Midwest (36.0%) and South (34.7%) have the highest prevalence of obesity, followed by the West (29.1%) and the Northeast (28.6%). (CDC.gov, 2023)
Here are more fast-facts:
"- DC and Colorado had an obesity prevalence between 20% and less than 25%.
- Seven states had an obesity prevalence between 25% and less than 30%.
- 17 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands had an obesity prevalence between 30% and less than 35%.
- 20 states, Guam, and Puerto Rico had an obesity prevalence between 35% and less than 40%.
- Three states (Arkansas, Mississippi, and West Virginia) had an obesity prevalence of 40% or greater." (CDC.gov, 2023)
