"Mississippi leads the nation for obesity in children and adults, I believe the last figure was over 18 percent," said Sarah Hudson, D.O., a family medicine resident at Forrest General Hospital. "So, that's significant. Those are numbers that we've never seen before, so we're having problems in children that we used to only see in adults and sometimes, middle-aged adults we're now seeing in relatively young children because of this."
Sarah Hudson, M.D. believes the last figure for obesity in children and adults in Mississippi was over 81 percent.
