Abstract
South Carolina’s high rates of obesity and the resulting obesity-related health conditions exact a high toll on the health of our citizens and the financial resources of our State. The South Carolina Advisory Committee on Obesity was established by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control as a result of Concurrent Resolution S.252, sponsored by Senator Warren Giese. The Advisory Committee was created to prepare a report on obesity for the South Carolina State Legislature. The report contains a description of the problem, examples of approaches to prevention and management in children and adults, and research currently being conducted in the State.
