• Description:
  Updated Sept 21, 2023 ; The CDC 2022 Adult Obesity Prevalence Maps for 50 states, the District of Columbia, and 3 US territories show the proportion of adults with a body mass index (BMI) equal to or greater than 30 ( ≥30 kg/m2) based on self-reported weight and height. Data are presented by race, ethnicity, and location. The data come from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, an ongoing state-based, telephone interview survey conducted by CDC and state health departments. ; The 2022 maps show that obesity impacts some groups more than others. There are notable differences by race and ethnicity, as shown by combined data from 2020–2022. ; Among geographic groups (states, territories, or DC) with enough data, the number with an adult obesity prevalence of 35% or higher, by race/ethnicity, is: ; • Non-Hispanic Asian adults: 0 (among 37 states, 1 territory, and DC) ; • Non-Hispanic White adults: 14 (among 49 states, 1 territory, and DC) ; • Hispanic adults: 32 (among 49 states, 2 territories, and DC) ; • Non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native adults: 33 (among 47 states) ; • Non-Hispanic Blacks: 38 (among 48 states and DC)
