Obesity remains one of the most persistent public health challenges in the United States, with rates continuing to climb in nearly every part of the country—and in every adult age group. While adults aged 45 to 54 have seen the largest increase nationwide, young adults are becoming the fastest-growing segment in several states, shifting the landscape of this long-standing epidemic. To better understand these trends, a new analysis from Invigor Medical breaks down obesity rates by age group and location, analyzing CDC data from 2013 to 2023 (the most recent year available) to identify the fastest-growing age group in each state, pinpoint the states with the highest overall rates, and highlight regions where increases have been more modest.
