In contrast, OECD countries on average demonstrated a decreasing trend from 9.5 in 2000 to 8.8 in 2013 (OECD, 2015a). The prevalence of obesity is also higher in Latvia at 23.6% of adults, compared to the OECD average of 19% (OECD, 2015a). Although many OECD countries have a higher share of obesity among men, Latvia does not follow this trend.
