As for the older population, we have 24% of those aged between 26 and 44, 31% of those aged 45 to 64, and 24.4% of people older than 65 years being obese.

50.Massachusetts – 25.2% Obesity Rate

We now dial things back by a moderate percentage with Massachusetts’ 25.2% obesity rate. 2015 saw a satisfying obesity rate drop within the state that launched a successful campaign for health. This involved health officials promoting the cleanliness and benefits of drinking water while ensuring that public institutions were feeding employees and students correctly and that everyone was on board with exercise. This is the ideal recipe for a healthy and active lifestyle, but it can only work if the target markets are enthusiastic about it and willing to participate.
