In 1990, among states participating in the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, ten states had a prevalence of obesity less than 10% and no states had prevalence equal to or greater than 15%. By 1999, no state had prevalence less than 10%, eighteen states had a prevalence of obesity between 20-24%, and no state had prevalence equal to or greater than 25%. In 2008, only one state (Colorado) had a prevalence of obesity less than 20%. Thirty-two states had a prevalence equal to or greater than 25%; six of these states (Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia ) had a prevalence of obesity equal to or greater than 30%.

30
Health Disparities The proportion of adolescents from poor households who are overweight or obese is twice that of adolescents from middle- and high-income households. Obesity is especially prevalent among women with lower incomes and is more common among African American and Mexican American women than among white women.
31
Health Disparities Compared with white youth, black and Hispanic youth have higher prevalences of asthma, overweight, and type 2 diabetes. Among youth aged 10–19 years, American Indians have the highest prevalence of type 2 diabetes of any racial/ethnic group. In 2005, after adjusting for population age differences, Mexican-Americans were 1.7 times more likely to have diabetes than non-Hispanic whites
32
Health Disparities In 2000, rates of death from diseases of the heart were 29 percent higher among African American adults than among white adults, and death rates from stroke were 40 percent higher. During 2003-2004, 24% of non-Hispanic black females aged 2-19 years were overweight, compared with 15% of non- Hispanic white.
33
“Despite obesity having strong genetic determinants, the genetic composition of the population does not change rapidly. Therefore, the large increase (obesity)…must reflect major changes in non genetic factors.” Hill & Towbridge, Childhood Obesity future directions and research priorities. Pediatrics 1998

Food/Calories – energy in Physical Activity – energy out Weight is a simple equation
