Obesity Demographics Generally Follow Exercise Demographics

In general, Gallup-Healthways data indicates the groups most and least likely to exercise frequently also have the lowest and highest obesity rates in the nation. Young adults and high-income Americans are among those in the least obese groups, while low-income and black Americans are among the most likely to be obese.

One exception is Asian Americans. While they are among the least likely to report frequent exercise, they are also, by a significant margin, the least likely to be obese. This may reveal that Asian Americans’ low obesity levels are tied more directly to their eating habits or to another potential genetic or economic factor.
