As the New York Post citing Consumer Reports, the most "complete" US state is West Virginia, followed by Mississippi and Oklahoma. About 38% of adults in the top state are overweight. Data was collected in 2017.

Colorado became the leanest state in the country, with 22,6% of adults diagnosed with obesity as of the same year.

America has long been concerned about the problem of obesity: 93,3 suffers from an overweight of a million American adults, according to data from 2015 to 2016 a year, according to the CDC.

“In 1990, obese adults made up less than 15% of the population in most US states. By 2010, 36 states had obesity rates of 25 percent or more, and 12 of them had obesity rates of 30 percent or more,” the Harvard University School of Public Health said.

“Although obesity rates in the United States have remained generally stable since 2003, they are still rising in some groups, and disparities persist: non-Hispanic blacks, Hispanics, and Mexican Americans have higher rates of obesity than non-Hispanic whites,” adds the School.

Mississippi (37,3%) and Oklahoma (36,5%) were on the second and third places in the list, taking into account the number of adults with obesity.

The publication also looked at states where adults engaged in “zero physical activity,” a statistic they called the “lunger index.”

Kentucky became the leading state for zero physical activity, with 34,4% of adult residents being couch potatoes. Mississippi and Arkansas follow with 33,2% and 32,5%, respectively.

According to the CDC, there are so many diseases associated with obesity: heart disease, type 2 diabetes, some types of cancer and stroke, and this is not an exhaustive list.
