Obesity Drives Health Problems

Obesity Drives Health Problems

In the 10 most obese metro areas, diabetes is 72.5% more common than in the 11 least obese cities, as is a history of heart attacks (64.5%). The incidence of high blood pressure and high cholesterol is also greater in these cities.

Gallup says these health challenges may help explain why residents in the most obese cities are more likely to report lower energy levels than those in America’s least obese cities. Residents in the most obese cities report 4.2% less daily energy, which can result in lost productivity, what Gallup calls one of the hidden costs of obesity.
