Unfortunately, there is no sugar-coating the results of a new study: Wisconsinites are among the most overweight in the country.
And, Clark County has one of the biggest problems with obesity.
The report from the state Department of Health Services shows Wisconsin’s obesity rate is 16th highest in the country.
Clark County’s obesity rate ranks in the top 25% of Wisconsin’s 72 counties.
At least half the adults in every Wisconsin county are either overweight or obese; while one in four Wisconsin high school students are overweight or obese.
The obesity rate for adults in Wisconsin has more than doubled since 1990.
