With a ranking of 6th, Massachusetts also has a relatively low percentage of obese children (9.9%). Proving a correlation between low obesity and low prevalence of diabetes, it is no surprise that only 8% of adults in Massachusetts are living with diabetes, ranking it 6th in the country. Although well-ranked, the incidence of diabetes in adults has increased over 2% in the last decade. The incidence of stroke is 2.2%, which is only slightly higher than the national average of 2.1%.

With a relatively low prevalence of smoking, only 18.2% of the population smokes, ranking Massachusetts the 9th lowest in the country.

This marks an almost 4% increase since last year alone.

With the strengths being a high number of insured individuals, a low prevalence of obesity and diabetes and a high availability of PCPs, Massachusetts is still struggling with a high prevalence for binge drinking.
