Dear Friend,
There is good news and bad news regarding the weight of Pittsburghers.
The number of adults whose weight falls within the healthy range increased from 2009 to 2010, according to the 2010 CDC Behavioral Risk Factor Survey, the most recent data available. Unfortunately, the number of obese adults also increased. No matter how you look at the numbers, in terms of benchmarking, we remain among the worst regions, ranking fourth weightiest overall compared to the previous year.
The complete health dataset for overweight and obesity can be found on our website at PittsburghTODAY.
Sincerely, Douglas Heuck Program Director PittsburghTODAY |
