Massachusetts – 25.2% Obesity Rate
It was fortunate that the adult obesity rate in Massachusetts was starting to drop, and it showed that there was still hope for the state. But still, Massachusetts was holding a 25.2% obesity rate record for its population, which meant that it was still an issue that had to be resolved. Massachusetts began to implement programs to tackle the situation and started initiatives for drinking water, raising nutrition standards, balanced diet, exercise, and others.
