The 2015 List Of Fattest States In America

Wallethub.com has released their list of the '2015's Fattest States in America'.

Drawing on data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a report from JAMA Internal Medicine found that more than three quarters of American adults today are either overweight or obese. And for the first time in history, the number of obese people has surpassed that of the overweight.

WalletHub’s analysts compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia across 12 key metrics to pinpoint where the weight problem is most prevalent and encourage Americans to re-evaluate their lifestyles. Their data set ranges from the percentage of adults and children who are overweight and obese to the sugary-beverage consumption among adolescents. The results, additional expert commentary and a detailed methodology can be found below.
