Some obesity rates fall; still higher than in 1990
Is the message that the nation is
getting too fat beginning to sink in?
The answer is "yes but," says the
Trust for America's Health, a non-
profit, non-partisan group that aims
to protect the health of communities
and make disease prevention a na-
tional priority. And a study of health-
care quality and quantity across the
nation suggests some reasons why
things are not improving uniformly.
Obesity is a disease, and for the
last 13 years the Trust and the Robert
Wood Johnson Foundation have
monitored obesity rates in the coun-
try, focusing on the proportion of a
state's population that is obese. The
study designates someone as obese
whose body mass index (a measure
based on height and weight) is 30 or
higher.
This year's results show that after
a decade in which eve~ state's obese
population rose, a few states have fi-
nally experienced a decrease.
"'We're seeing the rates plateau al-
beit at a very high level," says
Richard Hamburg, the interim presi-
dent of the Trust.
Although rates have dropped in
Montana, Mitmesota, New York, and
Ohio, even those decreased rates are
still high. Twenty-six percent of
adults in Minnesota were still con-
sidered obese, and nearly 30 percent
were in Ohio. Even in the states with
the lowest rates - Colorado, Califbr-
nia, Utah, Montana, Hawaii and
Massachusetts - rates remain be-
tween 20 and 25 percent.
Twenty-two of the 25 states with
the highest adult obesity rates are in
the South and Midwest, including
Kansas and Kentucky, both of which
experienced an increase.
To put this in perspective, Ham-
burg told me that in 1980 no state had
a rate above 15 percent; in 1990 no
rate was above 20 percent. "Colorado
is the healthiest state but exceeded
the 20 percent rate years ago," he
said.
What happened? Hamburg ex-
plained that many societal changes
have conspired to increase obesity
rates. Children have less opportunity
Many families

Burger King a few
times a week, but

cess to fresh fruits
and vegetables.
for physical activities: parents are no
longer comfortable sending their kids
out to play and telling them to come
home by dark.
Other reasons?
• Sedentary activities like com-
puter games have replaced physical
activity.
• Many schools no longer offer
physical education, and are not al-
ways open for physical activity after
the school day ends.
• More kids arrive at school via
car or bus. In 1969, 89 percent of
kids walked or rode their bikes to
school. By 2009, the number had
dropped to 35 percent.
Eating habits are different, too,
with families eating more often in
restaurants, including fast food es-
tablishments, and consuming more
added sugars and fats. Many families
eat at McI)onalds or Burger King a
few times a week, but even if they
cooked at home, they might not be
eating "'healthy" because they don't
have access to fresh fruits and,veg-
etables.
Hamburg told me 30 million peo-
ple don't have easy access to a su-
permarket: many residents in dense
urban areas have to walk or take pub-
lic transportation more than a mile to
get more than a "convenience store"
selection. Many in rural areas must
drive 10 miles or more.
Powerful marketing from the food
industry is also a culprit, beckoning
consumers to eat pizza, overstuffed
tacos, and sodas without regard for
the effect on their weight or health.
I usually don't pay much attention
to state rankings from various
groups. Most people aren't going to
move to another state just because it
ranks better on whatever is being
tneasured. But this time I did because
as the obesity report came out, a per-
sonal finance website, WalletHub,
announced its latest report "2016's
States with the Best & Worst Health
Care."' And I was struck by a possible
connection.
What did WalletHub have to say
about those states in the South and
Midwest with high numbers of peo-
ple who are obese? Were they getting
routine examinations, and dental
care? Were physicians accepting
Medicare? Were there adequate hos-
pital beds particularly, in rural areas
where many hospitals have closed?
Now I didn't attempt to do a sci-
entific con'elation, and there may be
many reasons why a state's health-
care system ranks high or low on the
WalletHub site. But for me, the take-
away from these studies is that com-
munities must offer not only
treatment for health problems relat-
ing to obesity but also ways to pre-
vent the underlying cause in the first
place.
Communit:ies must have not just
enough and appropriate medical fa-
cilities and personnel but also pro-
grams to encourage better eating
habits and more physical activity.
The Trust report offers sugges-
tions that point in that direction. To
learn more about how your state
ranks on both these studies, go to sta-
teofobesity.org and wallethub.com.
