      That 11% in North Korea was solely made up by the weight of Kim Jong-un and his Communist party cronies.

      One of the biggest problems we continue to ignore because we declared it offensive to talk about. Instead, we tell everyone they’re perfect as they are and shouldn’t strive to improve.

      BMI is trash because it doesn’t distinguish between muscle and fat

      Samoans, for example, tend to have high bone density and lots of muscle and they are not fat. Calling them obese is complete and total nonsense

      And, of course, most body builders count as obese under BMI

      An accurate measure would be body fat percentage. It’s easy and cheap to measure so there’s no excuse for anyone to still use BMI for anything

      The French are less obese than the.North Koreans. Way to go, social pressure!

      I live in Toronto and am currently in a mall waiting for a friend. I’m looking around and I don’t see a single fat person. I’m going to guess the city is healthier and the fat people are in the middle of nowhere.

      As a Serbian resident who has visited Croatia twice in the last 10 years, I wasn’t aware Croatia is two nuances ie 10% higher (more obese) than Serbia.

      Honestly, it surprises me, I thought most speakers of Serbo-Croatian are roughly the same and Macedonians and Slovenians just 5% less obese.

      I remember when the United States was like China. When I was in school (early 70s) each grade had „the fat kid“. Everyone else was thin. I teach middle school and nearly half are what we called fat back then.

      What’s with those countries in Oceania? Terrible percentages. Is this because of logistic issues? Like, are they only supplied with junk food?

      Body Mass Index is just a ratio of weight and height, it doesn’t correctly measure obesity!!

      I wonder why Vietnam is so low? I mean all of SEA is but why is Vietnam one of the lowest in the world?

    28. Kineticwizzy on

      I did not expect Canada to be the lowest out of all the Commonwealth countries.

      Remember this is just *obesity*, and not everyone overweight. US’ obesity rate is around 40%, but its overweight rate is around 70%. We’re fat

      I wish statistics like these broke down to the different levels of obesity. There’s a huge difference between BMI 31 and BMI 105 but they’re all lumped together when just classifying obese. I bet if you looked at BMI 50+ this map would look really different

    31. petmechompU on

      So 13 of the top 20 countries (including the top 9) do not appear on the map at all. Great job!

    33. thefilthycheese on

      Why are obesity rates on islands specifically that high? Too many coconuts?

    34. DesolateEverAfter on

      Surprises me that Fiji is „only“ at 34% considering the other Pacific island countries are much higher!
      Anyone knows why?

    35. mrmonster459 on

      Jesus, graphs like this make me realize that being a healthy weight adult in the US is basically a flex at this point.

    36. Nefariousness_Unfair on

      Kind of strange that the obesity rates seem to be separated into different cultural groups. The Arab nations are all at 40-45, the Anglophone nations at around 30 excluding America, the Slavic countries at around 25, the Romance nations at around 15 and the Eastern nations are all <10

      I’m British and seeing Poland and Czech at similar levels to us is a big surprise. When I visited both countries I couldn’t believe how in shape their people seemed. Either they have ballooned in the last 10 years or they hide it better than Brits.

    41. ShadowBannedAugustus on

      This is shocking. Watching mostly US TV I would guess it somewhere around Netherlands‘ level in the US.

    45. OwnYam6269 on

      I find it odd that Western Europe has an expanded view but Polynesia doesn’t

    47. jadaddy3 on

      BMI is a bad way to measure this. I know multiple people who are considered obese but are just so muscular that they are „overweight“. We’re talking 6’3″ 280 with visible abdominals.
