11. Texas
Texas has one of the largest populations in the U.S., and obesity affects more than 35% of its adults. Economic inequality plays a significant role, as many residents rely on affordable, calorie-dense foods. Hispanic and Black communities in particular face higher obesity rates due to systemic barriers in healthcare and access to nutritious meals. Chronic diseases linked to obesity, such as diabetes and hypertension, remain widespread, straining the state’s healthcare resources significantly.
