摘要
What is already known about this topic? National estimates from a decade ago found a higher prevalence of obesity among adults living in nonmetropolitan counties than among those living in metropolitan counties. What is added by this report? Analysis of 2016 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data found a higher obesity prevalence among adults in nonmetropolitan counties than among those in metropolitan counties. The greatest differences in obesity prevalence between nonmetropolitan and metropolitan residents were in the South (5.6 percentage points) and Northeast (5.4 percentage points). What are the implications for public health practice? Both nonmetropolitan and metropolitan counties can address obesity through a variety of policy and environmental strategies to increase access to healthier foods and opportunities for physical activity. © 2018, Department of Health and Human Services.
