13. Missouri
Missouri ranks high with obesity affecting more than 35% of its adult population. Limited access to healthcare and affordable, nutritious food, especially in rural towns, plays a central role. Traditional diets high in fried foods and sugary drinks also contribute. Obesity-related health conditions, including diabetes and cardiovascular disease, remain common. While the state has invested in wellness programs, poverty and sedentary lifestyles continue to drive high obesity rates across Missouri communities.
