Oklahoma – 36.5% Obesity Rate
Can you believe that 18% of Oklahoman children aged 10-17 are obese? This means the state has the sixth-highest childhood obesity rate! Over the past three decades, the figure has more than doubled among children aged 6-11. It has quadrupled among those aged 12-19. Experts think this has something to do with residents’ popularity of sugary drinks like energy drinks, sports drinks, and sodas.
