      Colorado is so darn fit. Every time I go there, I feel so out of shape.

      This is just BMI so it’s not a great metric. Muscle mass and bone density are not accounted for.

      Believe able. My family in Tennessee are all overweight.

      The ones in florida or Washington are not overweight

      Honestly I blame cars and lack of public transit. A bus or train requires some walking associated with it. A bike or walking obviously requires physical exertion.

      So many places require a car, expect a car, shame you if you don’t have a car, and cars heavily contribute to lack of regular physical activity.

      The coastal south is only slimmer than the rest of the South due to skinny transplants. lol

      Is it me or do these numbers seem lower compared to a couple years ago?

      Are we already seeing the GLP-1 effects?

      I’m 6’5”. To get to “healthy” I’d have to be 210 or under.

      I’ve weighed that much. It’s borderline comically skinny.

      BMI is a terrible indicator of actual health. According to bmi I am morbidly obese with body fat at 14%. 6’5” 320lbs

      Ozempic is gonna cut through this like a knife through butter. We’ve seen the peak of obesity in most of these states if I had to guess.

      Alarming as this already is, these figures are based on clarification of obesity based on BMI thresholds which are increasingly considered inadequate to define obesity.

      Clinical organizations/societies have now begun moving toward a „Clinical Obesity“ definition. This newer approach looks at BMI plus waist circumference (over 35 inches for women, 40 for men) and weight-related health conditions (like high blood pressure). If the map used this newer, stricter definition, the percentages would likely jump by another 10-20% per state.

      You would be shocked at what obese actually means. People think about a super fat person but it’s basically anybody with a visible belly.

      I live in New Orleans. Is weird, I’ve lived in several places throughout the Gulf Coast and I was surprised by how few obese people I saw when I moved here, this city is definitely not at 39%. But travel 1/2mile out side city limits and “oh! There they are!”

      Also, I was born and raised in the Denver metro area. Same thing, I’d bet if you looked up the obesity stats for Denver metro alone it would be <10%. It’s the southern and eastern counties of the state messing the numbers up.

      As a moderately chubby Tennessean it’s true there are a lot of pudgy or fat people here.

    25. Successful_Tear162 on

      BMI is pointless. I’m at 15 percent body fat and in awesome shape an I’m considered squarely in the obese category according to bmi I’m 38

    26. Successful_Tear162 on

      Colorado doesn’t have enough oxygen and it stunts everyone’s growth

      I hate that BMI chart… you can have a BMI over 30 but be completely healthy or have a perfect BMI and be on tje verge of diabetes or a heart attack

      This map is an awful visual to display data but I’d love a wall art with the popped out states

    29. Eckkosekiro on

      When it comes to bad societal stuff (murder, poverty, drugs, teen pregnancy, etc.) Mississippi never disappoints. It would be part of the third world if it was a country.

    31. Sagun1 on

      Is there correlation to poverty rates, or even what political side the state leans? Im curious someone should overlay the maps.

    34. ThunderballTerp on

      Was not expecting FL to be an outlier (on the positive side) in the SE.

    35. Living_Knowledge_783 on

      why is google play store ad being showen on here? also anyone noticed its only for bmi which we all know is false

    36. North40Parallel on

      This is why it’s so hard to be an active but pudgy person here in Colorado.

    37. mix0logist on

      Ugh, this just makes me feel shitty for being part of the 27% in Massachusetts.
