We could have a surplus of physicians if Americans would eat less, move more. It’s amazing.
Living long or living large—America’s got both covered!
One of the most obvious correlations on a map
Isn’t obesity rate in USA like 40%+ in the country? Your second map is from 2008, today it would be red all around i guess.
Obesity map is really old
Probably has more to do with race than obesity. I notice in the northwest not much change. So the people there are old and fat but they are also mostly white. The south has a larger black population and the life expectancy for black people has always been less than than for whites for many reasons.
Combine them into one map and you’ve got a winner.
Is that strip of low obesity in the southeast the Appalachian mountains?
Why is Texas so much better on the obesity map than neighboring states in the Southeast?
How much longer do slim people live on average?
I’d be interested in seeing poverty included.
Make Ozempic mandatory for the population and everything changes overnight. America has proven they are fat slobs and can’t help themselves.
It’s weird to me that Michigan isn’t doing well in these stats. I would think it’d be comparable to Wisconsin and Minnesota.
South Dakota obese and lives long
obesity is todays smoking, we all know it’s terrible for us but still accept it because it’s damn fun to BECOME obese. Just not fun to be obese
And the third dimension of poverty…?
Is it possible Florida’s a bit misleading? A lot of retirees transplanting raising the life expectancy because of selection bias? Maybe, maybe not. Maybe LE is for an infant born there today…
Now overlay political control
In fairness to Alaska… it’s fuggin’ cold up there
America The Fatty.
I went to New Orleans recently for the first time for a friend’s wedding. A lot of tourists from around the country. Fatness everywhere. I texted my girlfriend and told her, “Jeezus. Fat folks everywhere. Americans don’t walk, they waddle.” Truth.
Our food and our habits in this country are so fucking bad.
Dear Charles Barkley,
Considering what you have said about San Antonio Women, you should consider this obesity map with places you are more familiar, like Pennsylvania, Georgia, Alabama, Arizona, and Nevada. Or, maybe you just belong in those places.
Did OP happen to notice that the obesity map is based on age-adjusted data?
Maybe its hard to build car-dependent suburbs in the mountains?
Damn. I live in South Jersey. Low obesity but still don’t live long. Gotta be those damn goblins in the Pine Barrens
This also aligns with race so…there is little data that includes the south which isn’t also skewed by demographics.
Yes, the gummint should offer free weekly shots of GLP1 analogs in walk-in clinics. To save lives.
Why is Alaska so high? No, I don’t mean on drugs, high obesity rates.
The map of the two partys by county is very similar
That one little county of rich skinny people in Tennessee.
