Obesity,
Nutrition and Physical Activity in Wisconsin (PDF,
22 MB) uses the available state data to
provide a detailed look at the obesity problem in Wisconsin. It illustrates
the scope of the overweight and obesity problem in Wisconsin adults and
youth and also identifies groups at greatest risk. The report
describes the likely negative consequences of obesity for individual health
and the state’s economy. It provides rates for individual behaviors
related to obesity and also explains the importance of influences beyond an
individual’s control, such as environments and policies created by
organizations, communities, and the state. The report provides information
about resources that partners throughout the state can use to help reverse
this harmful trend in Wisconsin. |
