Thus despite the more reasonable average outcome, much needs to be done to promote healthier behaviours among men in Kazakhstan. Women in Kazakhstan are much more frequently obese than men. In 2012 (latest available data) measured obesity data indicated that more than 30% of women were obese compared to 16% of men (World Obesity, 2016). This places Kazakhstan on par with some of the most obese countries in the OECD. The prevalence of obesity varies about six fold across OECD countries, from a low of 5% in Japan and Korea, to over 32% in Mexico and the United States. Across all OECD countries, 19% of the adult population is obese.
