Study Ranks Ohio Sixth In The Nation For Child Obesity

A new study by the non-partisan Robert Wood Johnson Foundation shows child obesity remains a major health challenge in Ohio.  

The study shows nearly 19-percent of Ohio kids ages ten to 17 are obese, the sixth-highest rate in the nation.  Those children will be at higher risk of contracting diabetes, heart disease and other health problems as they get older.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
