Prevalence of Obesity in Various Countries Worldwide A significant portion of the population in Pacific micro-states faces obesity issues, with rates as high as 75% in American Samoa, 72% in Tonga, and approximately 70% in Nauru and Tokelau. In major countries, obesity remains a prominent concern, with the USA having 42% of its population classified as obese, followed closely by Saudi Arabia at 41%, and several Latin American nations with rates just below 40%. Within our country, 24% of the population grapples with obesity, aligning with figures observed in Central Europe: slightly over 20% in Germany and just under 27% in the UK. These rates are notably higher than in France, where only 10% of the population is classified as obese, earning the country the title of Europe's "slimmest" nation. Conversely, the lowest obesity rates are recorded in less affluent countries in Africa and Asia, with just 2% in Vietnam and 3% in Ethiopia.
