The percentage of obese adults increased in 16 states over past year and didn't decline in any state, a report says. In addition, the number of adults who say they don't do any physical activity increased in 14 states this past year.
This report is based on state-by-state obesity data from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in which people self-report their height and weight. Because people tend to underreport their weight, the percentage of people who are obese is probably higher than the statistics indicate.
