Obesity Statistics?


anyone know the exact obesity statistics for children ages 14-18

Funny you asked. I just did research on this.

According to the rankings, compiled by the Trust for America's Health, the Obesity rate for children ages 10-17 is projected at about 18%. Not good news!

This year The District of Columbia had the highest percentage at 23% and Utah had the lowest at 9%.

Hope this helps!
