U.S. Adult Obesity Obesity has more than doubled in 30 years going from 15% in 1976 to 32.9% by 2004. 66% are overweight or obese. The total cost of obesity by 2000 was about $117 billion. By 2015, current trends predict 75% will be overweight and 40% will be obese.

U.S. Child Obesity 16% are already overweight or obese. 34% are at risk for becoming overweight or obese. The prevalence of overweight adolescents 12-19 has nearly tripled in the past two decades. In California, 26.5% of all children are overweight and 39.6% of all children are unfit. By 2015, current trends predict that nearly 24% of all U.S. children will be overweight or obese.

U.S. Physical Activity 50% of adults do not get enough physical activity to provide health benefits. 24% of adults are not active at all in their leisure time. About 2/3 of youth grades 9-12 are not engaged in recommended levels of physical activity. From 1991-2005, daily PE in high school dropped from 42% to 33%.
