Interesting, how this morbid obesity rate is nearly three times higher for middle-aged women then middle-aged men.
It seems as though morbid obesity is far deadlier for men though. The rate of morbid obesity collapses in middle-age while women's rates just keep increasing.
Interesting how less than 1% of Asian-American females are morbid obesity and only 1 out of 400 Asian-American men are morbid obese. I remember being in a bakery in Irvine, California a few years which is heavily Chinese-America and they tended to split a meal or split a desert.
It's very likely that in the next decade that the number of young women on SSDI and Medicaid will skyrocket. The fact that 10% of college-aged women are already morbidly obese means that the number of SSDI and Medicaid wil surge as many become to do disabled to work.
With these unchartered waters we are in I wouldn't be surprised if the SSDI and Medicaid system because much more overwhelmed then what we think now. Shocking, that 10% of college-aged women are already morbid obese
Seems as though based on the much lower rates for men 45-54 then 35-44 many times morbidly obesity will pass away around 40 years old.
As the saying goes "men die and women get sick" seems to be especially true for morbid obesity.
For women it seems many will have chronic morbid obesity related ailments that last decades and overwhelm the system.
I wouldn't be surprised in a decade if there are tens of millions of women who should be in their prime years that instead have morbid obesity related ailments.
Basically, there is well over 10 million plus morbidly obese women out there between 20-64 years old which usually means 100 pounds or more over the ideal weight.

This is my theory. Being obese as an elderly person is far more deadly than being obese as a younger person. There are more health risks with being obese, period. However, it kills the elderly far more. Death rates are a big factor. Those who are still alive have a higher likelihood of being thinner.

I agree with you there. Although it seems like more males with morbid obesity will pass away earlier than women with morbid obesity.
There is a huge drop-off in the percent of obese males 45-54 as opposed to 35-44.
Women on the other hand continue to increase and there isn't a drop-off in female obesity until they much older.
Per-capita costs for those morbidly obese are 81% higher than normal weight.
There is basically 10-12% of the female population that is running up 81% higher health care costs than they would be have a generation or two ago when the amount of morbidly obese was a drop in the bucket compared to today.
I think the fact that there are tens of millions of women and men who are going to be utilizing nearly double of very limited health-care resources is going to really cause huge issues in the nation's health-care system in the next decade.
As a single, fit, active man in my early 40s it’s rather difficult to find the same in a single woman. I’m simply incapable of being attracted to an obese partner. Among my male friends and family of similar age I also seem to be the outlier. We really need to look at ourselves as a society as far as food and lifestyle choices go.

My gym is full of fit women meeting that demographic while the equivalent men are carrying a spare tire.
I wonder why the OP went from obsessing about North Dakota to fat people.
