USA takes the cake of course at a whopping 31% obesity. Obesity here is defined as a BMI of 30+.
Of course BMI is not the best measure of body fatness because it doesn’t describe body composition, however, for the population as a whole, it does work since the avaerage American lives a sedentary lifestyle.
Looking at the countries with a smaller percentage of the population being obese I believe physical activity on a daily basis is the key. The majority of people in those countries get more physical activity in their daily lives.
After seeing this graphic, we should all go out for a walk, run, swim, bike ride, just be active.
