Why Is This Important?
Arkansas ranks the highest in the nation for adult obesity, and in Arkansas, more than one-third of children and adolescents are overeight or obese. These children have a higher likelihood of becoming obese adults, costing the state billions of dollars. By reducing the prevalence of overweight and obesity during childhood, we can make a lasting difference in the state.
