July 7, 2011 — Adult obesity rates increased in 16 states during the past year, and none of the 50 states showed any decline in their rates of obesity, a study shows.
The findings are from the eighth edition of the “F as in Fat” report put out by the Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
Obesity rates have doubled in seven states since 1995 and increased by 90% in 10 other states; 22 states saw obesity rates increase by as much as 80%, the report shows.
The state with the lowest obesity rate today, Colorado, would actually have had the highest rate in 1995, according to the study.
But the report does offer a glimmer of hope: It marks the first time that there were fewer than 20 states with increasing adult obesity rates.
From 2006 through 2008, more than 30 states saw increased rates of obesity.
