An estimated 160 million Americans are either obese or overweight. Nearly three-quarters of American men and more than 60% of women are obese or overweight. These are also major challenges for Americaâs children â nearly 30% of boys and girls under age 20 are either obese or overweight, up from 19% in 1980.

U.S. obesity rates have escalated rapidly in the last 20 years. In 1990, no state had an obesity rate of greater than 19 percent.
