Childhood Overweight
Fact Sheets
These fact sheets contain results from the
Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) and School Health Profiles (Profiles) related to childhood overweight. The YRBS results describe the problem by identifying the percent of
high school students who are overweight, engage in unhealthy dietary
behaviors, or are physically inactive. The Profiles results describe
characteristics of health education, physical education, opportunities for
physical activity, and the school environment among middle/junior and senior
high schools that may help address the problem.

1. States and districts listed
above had weighted data for both YRBS and School Health
Profiles. Weighted data means that at least 70% of the
respondents in the sample
completed the survey. Weighted data represent the state or
district. With weighted data, it is possible to say, for
example, "X% of high school students in our state had not
participated in any vigorous or moderate physical activity
during the past 7 days."
