obese

Study shows that Wyoming residents are becoming less active, and it’s impacting their health.

Is it too early to pat ourselves on the back? Wyoming is one of the very least obese or overweight states in the U.S. so way to take care of yourselves for the most part, Wyomingites.

Health issues have been a concern for quite awhile now given the ongoing pandemic, but a health crisis that's been facing the U.S. has taken a backseat despite the fact that since the 1960s,the number of Americans under the age of 75 that are considered to be obese has tripled. However, in terms of where states rank on a list of the most obese in the nation, Wyoming isn't anywhere close to the top, so that's at least a step in the right direction for our state.

Beyond the immediate health problems that face our country with the pandemic, it's no secret that the U.S. has a problem with obesity. So where exactly does Wyoming fall when it comes to that issue?
