Obesity

Why Is This Important?

Chronic diseases are very common in Arkansas because many people in our state struggle with two common health problems that lead them to get chronic diseases. These are obesity and high blood pressure. Obesity is a health problem that can lead to several types of chronic diseases, especially diabetes. When people become very overweight, their body fat increases to an unhealthy level.  In Arkansas, almost 68 percent of adults are either overweight or obese. People who live in the counties with the shortest life expectancies are even more likely to be overweight or obese.
