Abstract:

Ogden et al. (2014) report that more than two-thirds of the US adult population is overweight and one-third are obese. Obesity has emerged as one of the most pressing public health issues in the United States. The trend toward weight gain carries long-term ramifications for the nation’s physical and economic health (1). Perhaps more importantly, the chronic conditions associated with obesity stand to impact the quality of life of a large proportion of the population, including certain socioeconomic groups and geographic regions. Vermont presents a unique case in the national dialogue on rural obesity. On the one hand, it is one of the most rural areas in the nation by population, with diffuse land use patterns that leave large swaths of the state without comprehensive grocery stores and viable opportunities for active transportation, placing individuals at risk for obesity (2–5). On the other hand, it is one of the healthiest states with an estimated 23.7% obese and 60.3% overweight and obese in 2012 (6). This is despite higher levels of automobile use and lower levels of devoted physical activity relative to other states (6, 7).
