So pretty much proportional to the percentage that's obese? riveting stuff. Riveting stuff indeed.

Some of y’all are so dumb it hurts

Obesity is roughly 30% for people 18-49. So this has actually DOUBLE the rate

I just read a thread how the south was so unhealthy. We must be at 70% obesity down here.

Not that alarming.

The prevalence of obesity was 40.0% among young adults aged 20 to 39 years, 44.8% among middle-aged adults aged 40 to 59 years, and 42.8% among older adults aged 60 and olde

45% of all adults 40-59 are obese.

Have you ever looked at the numbers they consider obese or over weight? They consider a man who is 6ft tall and 170 lbs as overweight

I am not talking about overweight. I am talking about “obese”. Apparently a lot of people’s don’t understand that difference

He is full of shite anyway

6 feet 170lbs is a BMI of 23 which is right in the middle of healthy range

Seems like that info should be emphasized by the media.

There are some adjusted BMI calculators online that factor in age and waist size. Find one of those and you'll see what they mean by obese.

at 6’0” 185 lbs is your upper limit on being in the normal weight category

And as someone who is 6’0” I actually start looking soft/pudgy at 180 lbs

I’m currently 170 and waist is 32”

At 180 lbs it’s getting tight at a 34” size. So I would say the range is right on for me.
