Minnesota – 30.1% Obesity Rate
Even though the obesity percentage in Minnesotan adults remained constant from 2018 to 2020, it did not mean that it was something to celebrate. As reported by the Department of Health, the state had a 30.1% obesity percentage, which meant that one out of three adults were obese. Looking on the bright side, Minnesota’s statistics were lower than the national average and the neighboring states – Dakota, North Dakota, and South Dakota.
