How is Missouri unique?

Unfortunately, Missouri is not a healthy state compared to the other states in the Midwest. For example, the adult obesity rate is one of the highest in the Midwest at 31.4%. The only other state that tops it is Michigan, with an adult obesity rate at 31.7%.

Missouri also has the second highest percentage of the population to go without health coverage; 14.3% of Missouri residents are without health care.

Missouri has a relatively high rate of heart attacks. Approximately 4.6% of the population has had a heart attack.
