Utah – 25.3% Obesity Rate

Although Utah has a lower rate of obesity than many other states, that does not mean that it is doing well. Even though most people in the state are relatively healthy, according to the annual “State of Obesity” report made by the Trust for America’s Health, they are still steadily gaining weight – just not as much as the rest of the country. The figures simply demonstrate how the national obesity crisis is getting worse.
