But that's true of many developing countries. (For instance, "you've gotten fat" is a compliment across South Asia, and diabetes / obesity is rising with processed foods.) So that may be a little piece of it, but for Oceania, I'd think it'd also be a matter of relatively small population + genetics + relatively low education + heavy use of high-fat imported processed food. (Spam, anyone?)

I'd guessed the Gulf States, but was surprised to see the non-Gulf, less wealthy countries from that general area on there too. And the Bahamas! With all the islands on the list, I'm thinking maybe surfing doesn't burn a lot of fat ...

According to Wikipedia, the reasons for obesity in the Pacific islands are:

A large part of the local diet consists of processed, high-calorie and imported foods, such as spam or corned beef, rather than fresh fish, fruits and vegetables, in part because the mining past has reduced the amount of arable land . Unhealthy foods are sold on the Pacific islands due to the region's relative poverty.

Relatively sedentary lifestyle, including among children.

Cultural factors, including:

History of poor public education on diets, exercise and health (micronutrient deficiencies are also common);

Banquets and parties continue to be a big part of life;

Imported foods have a higher social status than healthier local foods;

Historically, having a great body is associated with wealth, power and beauty.

High rates of obesity begin to appear 15 months after birth.

It makes sense. Most of the people there now are descendants of people that trekked the ocean. The body needed for that type of travel needed to be extremely efficient. A lot of work, little food. Now that the work is less, the food is plentiful (doesn't hurt cheap food is the unhealthiest), and so their hyper efficient bodies pack on mass.

The combined population of the other top ten countries is less than many US states. It's good that people are aware of the USA's obesity problem as it often promotes itself as a role model for the rest of the world.

Having been to the USA many times, it's easy to understand why so many Americans are obese.

Why would you try and deny a problem by stating that there are some pacific (micro)nations - where obesity equals status - that 'score' a tad bit higher.

If you compare 36,7% to European statistics (about 16%), or China (about 10%), no wonder "everybody" thinks of USA as a nation of overweight people.

Good point. But I wouldn't compare us to China when it comes to obesity. That rate would probably be higher if the average standard of living was on par with the American one. That's a big part of why the obesity level here is so high, although of course what you said also plays into it.

Hit a rich vein with Pacific Islands, then, when that ran dry, I tried a few stereotypical ones (US, Mexico) and then just started randomly trying wealthy western countries with little success.

I knew the Oceanic island nations were fat due to some reading but I still don't understand why they are.

+6
Level 77
Apr 8, 2017
Besides the usual over eating and lack of exercise, the oceanic countries have higher obesity rates because of a naturally bigger build, lower metabolism rates (due to past seafarer long trips where they needed to conserve energy), introduction of processed foods from the west (coke is cheaper than water), lack of access to medical care and the natural tendency of when it is very hot to conserve energy and be sedentary. Even things like the fact that a fisherman can sell a fish for a price that would buy him a couple of processed meals and be cheaper than eating that fish.

Fiji may be the one country in that area that has banned the import of certain foods because they are so fattening. Mutton flaps (as gross as it sounds), for instance, were banned there about ten years ago but are still popular on the islands that made the list.

Historically, populations on isolated islands were more at risk of famine and seasonal food shortages. The ability to store fat in one's body was a trait that ensured survival through lean times- natural selection. People with these genes put on weight more readily than others, even if they eat and exercise the same amount.

Tongans and Samoans have genetically greater bone density. The BMI standard used to determine obesity levels is based on Caucasian data, which is not appropriate for Polynesian populations, as there are genuine differences in body composition and fat distribution, so healthy weight ranges should be different.

could be the greasy food that Anglo cultures seem to prefer in England especially but pretty much all over, the relative wealth and prosperity that came as a package deal with starting the Industrial Revolution, the fact that Americans invented fast food and then the concept spread more easily and readily to culturally similar Anglophone countries, or perhaps something genetic.

Perception is not reality. The US is always under a microscope, so its many flaws are often overstated. Yes, we have a lot of overweight people, ignorant people, religiously zealous people, and uneducated people....but other places have many more of those types of people than we do. It's just that those other countries don't have the same global influence, so they aren't discussed as much. USA gets so much grief because, among the major global players like Germany, France, the UK, Japan, etc., it has these problems in the largest numbers. Plus human nature is to belittle the person at the top of the totem pole. As long as the US is the biggest wielder of global influence, people will accentuate and overstate its failings.

USA is not #1 because there are some countries with very low populations that have a higher obesity rate.

Jan 24, 2019
High BMI is clearly a cause in severe diseases, and kills a lot of people. If you discard it, then what would you replace it with? How would doctors check if their patience have increased risk of early death?

It's an objective measurement and the best tool we have.

The countries in Oceania with high obesity all score very low in life expectancy, with mostly only poor underdeveloped African countries below them. Their obesity is a huge problem, and cause early death. To just dismiss it as "BMI should be discredited" is VERY irresponsible of you.

There is no better tool than BMI in order to address both public and private health risks due to obesity. So if you want to discard it, please inform me of what you would replace it with!!!!!

+5
Level 83
Apr 1, 2019
While coro maybe overstated the point, he's actually right that BMI is not the best way of measuring how fat or out of shape someone is. It's an overly simplistic formula and people with wider, squatter bodies will be labeled as obese more easily using it. It also doesn't factor in how much muscle mass your body has so champion body builders would be severely obese going by BMI. Better ways of measuring include looking at hip:waist ratio, air displacement of your total body mass (can figure out how dense you are), the skinfold thickness test (pinch some fat off your body), or a DEXA scan or other more technologically advanced ways of measuring your body fat %. BMI is *a* tool but it's far from the best and it does run in to some problems applied across many different body types.

That being said, Polynesians are obese and unhealthy and this is mostly the product of poor diet and little exercise, not just different body types.

What am I rationalizing?

As for the diet - I have not been to many Pacific islands before outside of the Philippines (and the Filipino diet consists of a lot of rice, a lot of fried stuff, and a lot of fast food), but my friends who have worked or built residences in places like Samoa, Guam, and the Marshall Islands tell me that they eat a ton of SPAM and other fatty processed canned foods.

Why would it be surprising? It's obviously the natural place to start guessing on this topic once you've got the US. Even if you haven't personally met any Pacific islanders, you'll have noticed when watching rugby (and American football).

The peoples of the Pacific tended to eat large meals throughout the day because they did everything by hand. Now that it's all industrialized, they're just doing the eating because that was the culture: big families, and big meals.

New Zealand?? I think of Kiwis as lean, sporty types always climbing mountains or doing stuff, not as sedentary porkers.

Oceania countries and Middle Eastern countries are dominating the list. Oh! and also the country people talk about the most as obese, USA and also The Bahamas meaning two of the richest countries surrounding the Caribbean Sea. Knew most Arabian countries are fat because of so much money except Syria, Iraq and Yemen. But how can countries that are poor (Oceanic countries) are so fat? Answer is they were once very rich like Nauru since it sold phosphate from phosphate mineral deposits on the island but when they got lower and lower, they became poor people from nobles. Anyways quiz is very good.

It has more to do with diet and lifestyle than wealth these days. You don't really need to be wealthy to be obese anymore. Low-quality, high-calorie processed food is often the cheapest stuff available, depending on where you live.
