[Infographic] Catch Up On Obesity In The US With Georgetown’s 60-Second Fact Sheet
More than 1/3 of American adults are obese (35.7%) and 17% of children are, too.1 That translates into a whopping 78.4 million adults/12.7 million children; include the overweight population and those numbers nearly double to 154.7MM/23.9MM, respectively.2
Staggering.
Catch up on obesity in the US with this simple 60-second fact sheet, appropriately titled ‘Fighting the Obesity Epidemic,’ courtesy of Georgetown University’s Nursing Program. The simple infographic provides a quick-and-dirty refresher course on obesity in the US — Mississippi leads the way at 34.9% — including a few of Georgetown’s recommended diet/fitness strategies to ensure that you’re NEVER sucked up into the inclusive big-O club.
