In Healthy People 2010 there was almost no progress made for the focus area nutrition and overweight. Obesity in adults varied by geographical area, based on self-reported height and weight in 2008. The states with the lowest obesity rates were, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Colorado. Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and West Virginia had the highest rate of obesity. In healthy people 2000 the focus group was changed from "nutrition" to nutrition and overweight. There wasn't much information on the progress of healthy people 2000. It seems to be that they just started focusing on this area in 2000 but there was a double in obesity rates in adults from 1980 to 2000.
