Description: This study predicts a continued increase in the prevalence of obesity and severe obesity in adults nationwide, with large disparities across states and demographic subgroups. These conclusions are based on an analysis of BMI data reported by more than 6 million adults (1993–1994 and 1999–2016), with the data corrected for bias.
