Four states trimmed their obesity rates, but two saw gains and the rest remained stable, according to a new report.
The states that reduced their obesity rate from 2014 to 2015 were Minnesota, Montana, New York and Ohio, according to a report released Thursday by the Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. It is the first time in the past decade that any state saw a drop, save for one in the District of Columbia in 2010.
