HEALTHY LIVING According to the center for disease control (CDC), in 2017, no state had a prevalence of obesity less than 20%, in fact, only two states (Colorado and Hawaii) had less than 25% obesity rate. The rest of the states have a prevalence of 25% or more; Missouri has a prevalence of 30% or more. Cooper County Missouri in 2017 (countyhealthrankings.org), tipped the scales at 35 percent with Howard County not far behind at 34 percent. The site also shows that the percentage of physically inactive adults in Cooper County is 26% and 28% in Howard County. A lack of healthy eating and physical activity is a serious concern in every community in America. The YMCA focuses on every age, culture and socioeconomic group in our service area regardless of their ability to pay. Our focus is to offer programs that teach, model and encourage the correct methodology for healthy eating and active living. We also collaborate with the medical field to provide relevant and current information to assist individuals in making healthy decisions in their daily lives.
