WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In the U.S., the adult obesity rate is 27.7% thus far in 2014. This compares with the 27.1% average in 2013 -- the highest annual rate Gallup and Healthways have measured since beginning to track obesity in 2008.
Obesity rates have increased across the U.S. for both genders, all ages and ethnic groups; however, some groups are more severely affected than others. The prevalence of obesity among American adults was 35 percent in 2011 to 2012. However, among black Americans, the rate was 48 percent. The difference is even more striking among women, with 37 percent of all American compared to 57 percent of black American women classified as obese.
