With Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's decision to expand Medicaid, many West Virginians could be part of that change in coverage when that it takes effect at the beginning of next year.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - A
statewide screening program shows that the health of West Virginia children is
improving.
Figures from West Virginia
University's CARDIAC program show that 27.8 percent of fifth-graders screened
in the 2011-2012 school year were obese. That's down from 28.9 percent in the
2010-2111 school year.
During the same period, the
number of fifth-graders with high blood pressure fell from 24 percent to 20.3
percent. The abnormal cholesterol rate fell from 26.1 percent to 23.5 percent.
The kindergarten obesity rate
declined from 17.5 percent to 13.6 percent.
However, the second-grade
obesity rate rose a point to 24.5 percent.
CARDIAC program director Dr.
Bill Neal tells the Sunday Gazette-Mail (http://bit.ly/114VUsB ) that the numbers are encouraging.
But he says the state cannot get complacent.
