U S obesity rate appears stalled as CDC reports
U S obesity remains high with 68 percent of adults overweight or obese and 32 percent of children ages 2 to 19 overweight. The data drawn from 2007-08 surveys show little change over five years, though extremely obese youth, especially boys 6 to 19, rise to 15 percent. Black adults show the highest obesity rates, followed by Mexican Americans and whites.
