“The number of Utah children at an unhealthy weight increased dramatically from 1993 to 2006. In 2006, an estimated 22.5 percent of the 261,089 elementary school students, or approximately 58,745 students, were overweight or at risk of becoming overweight. More boys were overweight than girls. If the number of elementary school students at an unhealthy weight continues to increase at the current rate, in 10 years a total of 30.3% of elementary school students will be at an unhealthy weight.”

“In 2005, more than half of Utah adults (55.2%) were overweight or obese. This amounts to over 977,000 adult Utahns! Nearly two-thirds of adult males (64.1%) and nearly half (48.2%) of females were at an unhealthy weight. The percentage of obese adults has grown from 10.4% in 1989 to 22.1% in 2005 (age-adjusted), an increase of 112%.“
