I'm not sure how the criteria are different, the above is looking at big cities. The other list seems to have a bunch of small cities (e.g. Jackson MS). The difference could also be in study year. Neither list is very surprising to me.

The OP's post is from a hospital, your post links to a survey from a "Men's Fitness" magazine.

Again, it is including a lot of smaller cities. So ya, we all know Jackson Mississippi is fatter than Houston Texas, but...do we really put Jackson in the same class of city as Houston?

In a list of fattest cities i imagine they'd be compared. In the list of fattest top 10 major metroplexes i imagine it wouldn't. (I also assume it's the fattest major metropolitan area?
