Overview

Retrospective analysis examines mortality rates in adults with obesity and hypertension, highlighting disparities by race and region.

Key Points

  • Obesity and hypertension significantly increased mortality rates in the US from 1999 to 2020, particularly among men.
  • Age-adjusted mortality rates rose from 1.32 per 100,000 in 1999 to 14.70 in 2020, indicating a concerning trend.
  • Racial and geographic disparities were evident, with non-Hispanic Blacks experiencing the highest mortality rates at 12.2 per 100,000.
  • The Southern US region and nonmetropolitan areas recorded the highest mortality rates, signaling urgent public health needs.
