The dark color corresponds to the states with the biggest problems of "fat", the light color to states with smaller problems.
Today more than 3/4 of US adults are overweight or obese and for the 1st time the number of obese people has exceeded the number of overweight people.
Sad observation made by the new JAMA report INTERNAL MEDICINE which relied on data centers for the control and prevention of disease. Since two decades obesity continues to grow and all the various programs in place to combat it can not seem to stop the phenomenon.
New data released suggest to intensify efforts on the promotion of physical activity. In 2015, about 81.6 million Americans were completely inactive. Lack of physical activity is indeed a major cause of obesity, in addition to other factors (genetic, emotional instability, feeding).
The states where the percentage of obese people is the most important: Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee.
States where the percentage of adults eating less than one serving of Fruit & Vegetables a day, is the most important: Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, South Carolina.
