Subtitle: Who has the Most Obese Country?

The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified obesity as the fifth leading cause of death worldwide. In 2018, a staggering 39% of the world’s adult population was overweight or obese, making it one of the greatest public health challenges of our time. But which countries have the highest percentage of obesity?

United States

The United States has the highest rate of obesity in the world, with 39.8% of adults and 18.5% of children affected. The prevalence of obesity has been steadily increasing over the last two decades, and is now considered an epidemic in the country. Factors contributing to the high rate of obesity include the availability and affordability of high-calorie processed foods, a decrease in physical activity levels, and the rise in sedentary lifestyles.

Mexico

Mexico has the second highest rate of obesity in the world, with 32.4% of adults and 30.6% of children affected. The country's obesity crisis is attributed to a number of factors, including a high consumption of processed foods, a sedentary lifestyle, and an overall lack of physical activity.

United Kingdom

The United Kingdom has the third highest rate of obesity in the world, with 26.9% of adults and 17.3% of children affected. The rise in obesity rates in the UK is largely attributed to an increased consumption of processed foods, a decrease in physical activity levels and an overall decline in healthy eating habits.

China

China has the fourth highest rate of obesity in the world, with 24.2% of adults and 8.9% of children affected. The country's high rate of obesity is largely attributed to a drastic shift in diet over the last two decades. With the rise of fast food restaurants and the influx of processed foods, the Chinese diet has changed drastically, leading to a sharp rise in obesity rates.

India

India has the fifth highest rate of obesity in the world, with 21.0% of adults and 5.3% of children affected. India's obesity crisis is largely attributed to a rise in sedentary lifestyles, an increase in unhealthy eating habits, and a lack of physical activity.

Q: What is the most obese country in the world?

A: According to the most recent data from the World Health Organization, the United States of America is currently the most obese country in the world. In 2016, over 30% of the population was considered obese, and that number is expected to grow in the coming years. This is partially due to the country's high-calorie diets, lack of physical exercise, and rising levels of poverty and unemployment. Other countries with high rates of obesity include Mexico, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
