Trend in the percentage of adults who are obese

The percentage of adults are obese in Missouri has been increasing for the past ten years.  In 1990 only about 12% of Missourians were obese and now about 22% are considered obese.  The trend in Missouri follows the same pattern as the rest of the United States.  For more precise data see this table at the Centers for Disease Control.
