Fattest Countries in the World | Highest Obesity Rate by Country | 2021🥐📊
This (#Shorts) bar chart race ranks the highest obesity (*), as a percent of the population, by country. It is categorized by the following regions: North America, South America, Asia, Oceania, Africa, MENA, and Europe. Countries with a population of less than 1 million have been excluded (**).
(*) The most common metric used for assessing the prevalence of obesity is the body mass index (BMI) scale. The World Health Organization define BMI as: “a simple index of weight-for-height that is commonly used to classify underweight, overweight and obesity in adults. It is defined as the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in metres (kg/m2). For example, an adult who weighs 70kg and whose height is 1.75m will have a BMI of 22.9.”
Measured BMI values are used to define whether an individual is considered to be underweight, healthy, overweight or obese. The WHO defines these categories using the cut-off points in the table. For example, an individual with a BMI between 25.0 and 30.0 is considered to be ‘overweight’; a BMI greater than 30.0 is defined as ‘obese’.
