There was no state in 1985, which had an obesity rate north of 15%. Six years later, there was no state with an obesity rate above 20%. Sadly, North Dakota’s obesity rate has since gone up to 33.2%. As a matter of fact, 71% are obese or overweight. Higher levels of obesity tend to be seen by those in rural areas. What makes it even worse is that, while 10% have diabetes, 29.5% have high blood pressure.
