D.C. adults dump fat, but kids still plump

D.C.’s adults are slimming down while the rest of the nation fattens up — but the District’s kids are staying chunky.

Only the District of Columbia decreased in adult obesity rates based on three-year rolling averages ending in 2008 and 2009. Twenty-eight states increased and the rest remained statistically stable, according to a report released by the nonprofit Trust for America’s Health.
