Figure 1. Funded states and state-level estimates of annual medical expenditures attributable to obesity (2003 dollars, in millions). Years in parentheses show fiscal year through which states were funded. The states funded through 2004 are the 20 states addressed in this article. Source: Adapted from Finkelstein EA et al (5).
| Policies | Initiated: 30% (6) | Planned: 30% (6) |
|---|---|---|
| Legislation | Initiated: 45% (9) | Planned: 55% (11) |
| Other Environmental Changes | Initiated: 15% (3) | Planned: 10% (2) |
Figure 2. Percentage of states reporting environmental changes through policies, legislation, and other environmental changes. Data are based on December 2004 progress reports from the 20 state programs and reflect environmental changes that were initiated and planned between January and June 2004. Other environmental changes are strategies other than policies and legislation, such as urban planning, that alter or control the legal, social, economic, and physical environment affecting nutrition and physical activity.

Figure 3. Percentage of interventions incorporating key evidence-based strategies. Percentages were calculated based on 29 active interventions from January to June 2004. Because some interventions incorporated multiple strategies, totals across all columns exceed 100%.
