The #1 Fattest Country in the World

With that in mind, according to recent data from the World Obesity Federation, the top five countries with the highest prevalence of adult obesity (defined as a Body Mass Index of 30 or higher) are:

1. Nauru: 61.0%
2. American Samoa: 58.75%
3. Cook Islands: 53.97%
4. Palau: 53.15%
5. Marshall Islands: 52.22%

It’s important to note that obesity is a complex issue with many contributing factors, and simply labeling a country as “fattest” can be misleading. Socioeconomic factors, cultural practices, and access to healthy food and physical activity all play a role in obesity rates.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind:

• These numbers can vary depending on the source and methodology used.
• Obesity rates are often higher in island nations due to a combination of factors like limited access to fresh fruits and vegetables, reliance on imported processed foods, and changes in traditional lifestyles.
• Obesity is a global health problem with significant consequences for individuals and healthcare systems.
