Community Health Nursing Diagnosis StatementBell County, Texas currently has an obesity rate of 29% of adults, related to poor nutrition andlack of activity. The lack of activity is compounded by poor access and safety factors thatcontribute to limited walking and riding of bicycles. The target population group for this SocialMedia Campaign is adults age 18 years and older. The state of Texas obesity rate is 28%(Datausa, 2019), while the United States obesity rate is 39.8% (U.S. Department of Health &Human Services, 2016).B1)Bell county population as of 2016 was 340,411 (247,349 Adults), which made it the 16thmost populated county in Texas.

The average commutetime is 19 minutes with most people driving to work, and the average household in Bell Countyhas 2 cars (Datausa, 2019).

Several facilities offer hot showers and laundry supplies plusreferral services for more community resources. The food banks are mostly located in the olderdowntown sections of the cities that have homes dating back to the s, project housingwhere most of the homeless take residence.
