WalletHub compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia across 29 key metrics. The data set ranges from share of obese and overweight population to sugary-beverage consumption among adolescents to obesity-related health care costs.
Mississippi came in as the ‘fattest’ state, followed by West Virginia and Kentucky.
