“Anytime we can highlight those leaders that are setting a good health example, such as Hawaii’s Governor Lingle, who with a score of 20.7 has the lowest BMI of all 50 Governors, as well as anytime that we can admonish those leaders who model poor health, such as New Jersey’s Governor Christie, who with a score of 43.2 (considered Morbidly Obese) tops the charts as the worst BMI score of all 50 Governors, it is another opportunity to raise the discussion and move toward an era of awakening related to our citizens’ health and well being,” states Managing Director Kevin Graham.
In total 0% of the leaders were seen as Underweight, 26% as Normal Range, 38% as Overweight, 30% as Obese and 6% as Morbidly Obese.
