What Adult Obesity % Means
This game uses the estimated share of adults living with obesity in each country.
- Obesity here means BMI greater than or equal to 30 kg/m².
- The ranking is for all adults, combining men and women into one age-standardised estimate.
- In each round, use the slider to guess the country’s adult obesity percentage.
BMI is a blunt instrument: useful for population estimates, too crude for any one body.
