10. Iowa
Iowa has recently joined the list of states with obesity rates exceeding 35%. A combination of sedentary lifestyles, reliance on high-calorie diets, and lack of awareness contributes to the issue. Obesity in Iowa has led to increased rates of diabetes, stroke, and heart disease. Rural populations struggle most, as many areas have few gyms or affordable fresh produce options. Despite being an agricultural state, healthy eating isn’t always accessible or affordable to residents.
