The nation’s obesity rate is rising, but Americans’ weight-related concerns are falling. That’s the latest word from a new Gallup poll that finds fewer Americans say they want to lose weight than in previous years.

Gallup's annual Health and Healthcare poll, conducted Nov. 4-8, finds that for the first time in 25 years, less than half of Americans want to lose weight — even though nearly four in 10 Americans are obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Pollsters found that 49 percent would like to lose weight, down from about 60 percent from 2001 to 2008.

Other findings from the new survey:

• About 41 percent would like to stay at their current weight.
• One in 10 adults would actually like to add a few pounds.
• Less than a quarter of adults (24 percent) are "seriously trying to lose weight" — down form the 25-30 percent who were "seriously" trying from 2003 through 2014.
• About 37 percent say they are "very" or "somewhat overweight."
• More than half (56 percent) describe their weight as "about right."

The Gallup poll findings are based on telephone interviews conducted of 1,021 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.
