Abstract

Obesity has become a global public health problem, which will negatively affect individual health along with the social economy, but there are fewer effective ways to control obesity and useful methods to prevent obesity from occurring. A data set about obesity rate was used as the basic data set, and the average obesity rate and BMI for each group were calculated using formulas of descriptive statistics. Then the results were shown through figures using the method of correlation analysis. Also, in addition, for a more comprehensive understanding of the differences between different regions, the study of Ward et al was also referred. Through analysis, obesity rates of adults in different age group in the U.S has a tendency of rising in recent years. There are also differences in obesity rates by various circumstances. In addition, there is a correlation between genetic factors, family environment, social impact, and obesity rates. And a high obesity rate will have bad effects on both adults in the society and the society itself. Obesity causes various impacts on adults over the age of 18 in America. And more usable and effective ways of dealing with obesity should be created.
