| U.S. Obesity Trends by State 1985–2008 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Obesity is defined as a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater. BMI is calculated from a person's weight and height and provides a reasonable indicator of body fatness and weight categories that may lead to health problems. Obesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, certain types of cancer, and type 2 diabetes.
During the past 20 years there has been a dramatic increase in obesity in the United States. In 2008, only one state (Colorado) had a prevalence of obesity less than 20%. This animated map shows the United States obesity prevalence from 1985 through 2008. Our metabolism declines drastically within the first few decades of life. During this time our eating habits have been established and if we do not start making lifestyle changes, we will see the number on the scale start to increase. RedCircle’s Weight Management Program is designed to boost your metabolism, helping you reverse age related metabolic decline. A faster metabolism will help you lose weight quickly and safely and help you keep weight off! |
