America continues to get heavier. An analysis of data collected from 2007 to 2012 has found that 71 percent of Americans are obese or overweight. The picture is slightly worse for men, three-fourths of whom are overweight or obese. About 67 percent of women fall into one of those two categories. In all, nearly 35 percent of Americans are overweight, meaning that they have a body mass index between 25 and 29.9. This metric is a generally reliable way of estimating body fat percentage, though it can overestimate fat in athletes and those with a particularly muscular build.
Obesity has continued to grow within the United States. Two out of every three Americans are considered to be overweight or obese. During the early 21st century, America often contained the highest percentage of obese people in the world.he obesity rate for Caucasian adults (over 30 BMI) in the US in 2010 was 26.8%. For adult Caucasian men, the rate of obesity was 27.5% in 2010. For adult Caucasian women, the rate of obesity was 24.5% in 2010.
