I would have guessed higher. I wonder if the remaining 20% had other comorbidities?

Not surprising since...

Well, almost 80% of adults are overweight so this is not some groundbreaking stat.

Overweight is a BMI of 25. That's a ton of people.

Did the article split out how many were just obese with BMI of 30?

I'd like to see it broken down by "overweight" vs "obese"

There's so many people who are technically "overweight" BMI wise. I'm 25.1 so technically overweight....but they also say 130lbs for my height is "healthy" and there's just no way.

I'm guessing the obese take a large majority of these cases.
