National Obesity Study

The Trust for America's Health released a widely reported study on obesity in the U.S., entitled F as in Fat: How Obesity Policies are Failing in America, 2007. According to the report adult obesity rates rose in 31 states last year. Twenty-two states experienced an increase for the second year in a row; no states decreased. The report also finds that rates of overweight children (ages 10 to 17) ranged from a high of 22.8 percent to a low of 8.5 percent. A new public opinion survey featured in the report finds 85 percent of Americans believe that obesity is an epidemic. Y-USA's Kate Adamson was an expert reviewer of the report on behalf of the YMCA movement. To find out more about your state visit www.healthyamericans.org
