ABSTRACT
Obesity is a global public health concern linked to premature death and an increased burden of noncommunicable diseases. This study aims to assess obesity-related mortality rates and temporal trends in the United States. We investigate variations by gender, ethnicity, and state-level demographics using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention WONDER database spanning 1999 to 2021. We identified 124,076 obesity-related deaths, with a mean age-adjusted mortality rate (AAMR) of 2.7 per 100,000 population. AAMRs increased over time, with the highest rises observed in non-Hispanic Black/African American and American Indian/Alaska Native populations, and among males. Certain states showed higher AAMRs. These findings underscore racial disparities in obesity-related mortality and the need for further research to address these disparities.
