Pre-existing conditions, the ability to afford treatment, preventative measures are all informed by the environment we live in. [According to the CDC, in the United States, 42.4% of the population is obese.](https://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/adult.html#:~:text=Obesity%20is%20a%20common%2C%20serious,from%2030.5%25%20to%2042.4%25) Obesity, a pre-existing condition, can be due to genetics, diet, comorbidity, etc. There are countless reasons individuals end up obese, many out of their control, but one thing that is true for all of them is that it impacts how they are treated in public, in healthcare settings, and as we have seen over the past few years, pre-existing conditions play a part in how an immune system may respond to a deadly virus. [Research has found that obesity is a "novel risk factor for hospitalization and death" due to the Coronavirus.](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7779330/pdf/12979_2020_Article_212.pdf) 36:T493,scatter = html`

Amongst women there appears to be a more delineated upward trend in socioeconomic score as obesity prevalence increases, lining up with that report. This trend is not as distinct with men although there is a general upwards trend as well. However similar to population density and SVI, examining SVI and obesity feels too general at the state level.
