What do the top ten unhealthiest states all have in common? 

 

https://ktla.com/news/california/these-are-the-unhealthiest-states-in-u-s/

 

 

West Virginia also has the highest percentage of adults who smoke (21%), the highest percentage of adults who are obese (41%), and the second shortest life expectancy nationwide (73.9 years).

Mississippi, deemed the second unhealthiest state, has the shortest life expectancy at 73.63 years, the study found. The Magnolia State faces elevated rates of chronic diseases, including the highest cancer mortality rate in the country (17.37 deaths per 100,000 state residents).

The data also shows that Mississippi has higher rates of diabetes and hypertension, with 43.9% of adults in the state diagnosed with high blood pressure and 13.7% diagnosed with diabetes.

Aside from West Virginia and Mississippi, six other southern states are among the top 10 unhealthiest:

West Virginia

Mississippi

Tennessee

Arkansas

Kentucky

Alabama

Louisiana

Oklahoma

Ohio

Indiana

Stupid people do stupid things. Good riddance to them. They are a drag on society 

Pretty racist thing for you to say since African Americans have the highest rate of obesity in the country. Thought you were better than this?  Nope I knew who you were

They constantly treat minorities like they can't take care of themselves and need assistance. its an ugly form of racism wrapped in self-absorbed white night narrative.

 

Same thing when you talk ID to vote

the actual gun problem

the actual crime problem

the extreme poverty problem

The data supporting the contention health outcomes are related to party affiliation is purely anecdotal.  I've worked in health care analytics since 2018 and I've yet to run across any data sets, electronic health records, claims, pharmacy, or any other source or type of data that support patient level data identifying the person's party affiliation or voting history.  

But the standard left victim theory is poor health outcomes in "Red" states is due to poor health choices while poor health outcomes in "Blue" states is due to under-served communities resulting from racism.

Out of the top 20 unhealthy states, 16 of them rank among the top 25 states with the highest percentage of African American population.

 

So yeah, your point is merited.

 

The top 20 unhealthy states ranked by African American population %:

Mississippi -#1             Delaware #7                Ohio #17                 Indiana #24         

Louisiana #2                 North Carolina #8       Missouri #19          Kansas #26

Georgia #4                   Tennessee - #11          Kentucky #21         West Virginia #38

Alabama- #5                 Arkansas #13              Oklahoma #22       New Mexico #42

South Carolina #6        Michigan #15               Nevada #23           Maine #45

 

Found many stats regarding health issue woes relating to race in the U.S. that point out discrepancy in care. 

 

But the op threads intent was simply to belittle.

Tibs focusing on the outlier because he tried to make a "Right bad" profile and actually showed his disdain for the states with the largest minority populations.

 

Remember, working out. Taking care of your health is white supremacy.  per lefties

The strongest correlation is obviously to poverty. Or perhaps even more to median educational attainment, which of course in turn correlates to percent of vote for Republicans 

your stuck on macro. you really should go by county.  The truth is in the micro data.  narrow it down.

 

 

 

like identifying the poorest parts of said states then looking at demos.  

 

but that again, would show the racist narrative of this thread that's already been called out.

The map by county shows the poorest counties in the 50 states are in 4 main areas:

- Indian reservations (Dakotas, NM, AZ)

- the heart of Appalachia (WV, E KY, the mountain part of VA

- the old plantation belts (lower Mississippi Valley arcing NE through the Carolinas)

- lower Rio Grande Valley

So ... one almost all Native American, one largely non-hispanic white, one largely black, one largely white hispanic.
