Widening Waistlines
In this study a BMI above 30 is considered obese. The
measure is imperfect (most bodybuilders, for example,
would be classified as obese because of the weight of their
muscles, despite having very little body fat). But it is a
useful rule of thumb.The analysis finds higher obesity rates
in low- and middle-income countries than in many
high-income ones. More than 60% of adults in Polynesia
and Micronesia were living with obesity in 2022—the
highest rate in the world. This is likely to be a result of
changing diets and a culture that puts a value on size. Tonga
had the highest rate for women (81% were considered
obese); American Samoa had the highest for men (70%).
Countries in Africa and the Middle East, historically
associated with undernourishment, are now also struggling
with weight gain. French women and men were the most
slender in the region—only 10% were considered obese.
The rates were four times higher in America, where 44% of
women and 42% of men had a BMI over 30.
