Relevant Population Characteristics for Obesity Among Adults

Relevant Population Characteristics

The age-adjusted proportion of Utahns aged 18 or older with a BMI indicating obesity (>=30) has increased since 1990 (from 9.9% in 1990 to 26.0% in 2017), but the rates have been fairly constant since 2009. Obesity rates were higher than the state rate for certain populations, including for Native American/American Indians and Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders. Highest rates were seen in adults aged 50 to 64.
