Obesity rates remained high in most of the country last year, but many Ohioans shed a few pounds — driving down the statewide rate for adults for the first time in more than a decade, according to a new study from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.If the rate continues to shrink Ohioans could see some major health benefits because obesity is is one of the biggest drivers of preventable chronic diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease.The obesity rate for Ohio adults dropped nearly 3 full percentage points in 2015 to 29.8 percent from 32.6 percent a year earlier, according to the study, based on telephone surveys by state health departments and health behavior data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Preventi0n.
