Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS)
2012 Adult Obesity Data and State Map



Today CDC's Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity, posted online the 2012 state-specific data table and map on adult obesity prevalence using information from the CDC Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS).



As you are aware, in 2011 several updates were made to BRFSS methodology that impact estimates of state-level adult obesity prevalence. Because of these changes, data collected in 2011 and forward cannot be compared to estimates from previous years.
