    What is the fattest country in the world, in percentage of total population?

    Question #93467. Asked by screef. (Mar 13 08 8:30 AM)


    BRY2K

    In a list of the countries with the greatest percentage of overweight people, Nauru tops a list of countries with the greatest percentage of overweight people, with an alarming 94.5% of its adult population (ages 15+) classified as such, based on the most recent estimates by the World Health Organization (WHO).

    The Federated States of Micronesia, Cook Islands, Niue and Tonga round out the top five, all with a portly population of over 90%.

    The U.S. weighs in at No. 9, with 74.1% of those over 15 years old considered overweight. But given that its population is nearly 20,000 times that of Nauru, clearly the U.S.’s size belies it rank.

    According to a World Health Organization recent study, it is the tiny island nation of Nauru where 94 percent of its estimated adult population of 13,287 is considered overweight.
