it makes me sad.

not that high up tho. never seen one on top of lincoln or kinsman or any of the 4000 footers

Insolent twink, I will crush you with my fupa

Must be something in the water. That's why I only drink soda and chocolate milk.

Yup when I worked at Concord Hospital I constantly took care of psych patients

It’s even a problem in MA, my mom works in a hospital in the Boston area and they’ve been putting psych patients on her floor for years because they have no where else to put them.

This data would be a lot more helpful if it was done by county. People who live closer to major metropolitan areas tend to have lower bmi's.

Look at you with your body shaming.

That’s America for you, we don’t care about or fix things until a catastrophic failure (take for example; COVID, the subprime mortgage crisis of 2008, I could go on and on but I’ll stop here). I love this country but procrastination and neglecting issues until they’re big problems is probably one of the worst characteristics we have as a nation.

Hey! I resemble that

Is it a town ordinance as opposed to a law?

Does that surprise you lol

walkable towns and cities would help a lot, I imagine

We drink too much of grandpas cough medicine

How many fat 93 year olds have you seen?

So my hope and assumption is that they were likely saying "for individual use it's not great" which of course is PCP's bread and butter and on that note I would agree (with some caveats).

Unfortunately I'd like not to doxx myself by showing my own published stuff and having my name out there, but I actually got frustrated at one point in grad school by looking for something novel to say about the predictive value of WHR, circumference, and BMI and after a lot of hours on a really big longitudinal study I came away with "meh, use whichever".

Of course, if I wanna be super accurate, I'm doing a dexa scan or something, but geez human research is already expensive and I could rent this multi thousand dollar machine or just have a cheapo scale and wall height measurement and have it be good enough for research purposes.

Lastly, I think it absolutely must be said that regardless of size, moving more can counteract a ton of this stuff to the point where the negative cardiometabolic effects are hugely diminished. A lower bmi person is absolutely not 1:1 healthier.

I agree and also let's get moving America. It's been profit over health for far too long.

When you grow up here, the mountains lose their appeal pretty rapidly unfortunately

Interesting, thank you for your response. This is contrary to what I've heard from my PCP so I was curious

Nonetheless, you should assume that any unsourced collection of "interesting facts" is total BS clickbait until proven otherwise.

The default is that they're crap. The default is almost always correct.

Im in nh and yes there is a lot of fat people

Apparently whoever drafted this hasn't left the state. I've been here for two plus years and New Hampshire s fattest is skinny in comparison to most other states. That's a fact.

why are only three states labeled on the map lmaoooo
