Connecticut – 29.1% Obesity Rate

As we all know, obesity is a major health problem in the United States. Nearly one adult in three is affected. 21.6 percent of all adults in the state indicated that in at least a month they had not taken part in any physical activity. That’s though 28.5 percent of adults have recently recorded three or more times a day eating vegetables. All the same, Connecticut is another state that needs to take action to improve the health of the public.

Around 60 percent of Guam’s deaths are caused by unhealthy lifestyle and diet habits associated with chronic diseases.
