LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - A recent study ranks Little Rock as the second-most overweight and obese city in the nation.

A recent study by WalletHub has ranked Little Rock, Arkansas, as the second most obese and overweight city in the United States, just behind McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, Texas. The study evaluated 100 of the largest U.S. cities based on factors like obesity and overweight prevalence, health consequences, and food and fitness environments. Little Rock scored particularly poorly in areas such as the percentage of physically inactive adults, the share of adults with high cholesterol, and the availability of healthy food options. This ranking underscores the city's challenges with public health, highlighting the need for improved access to healthy foods, better fitness facilities, and community health initiatives to combat obesity.
