An estimated 160 million Americans are either obese or overweight. Nearly three-quarters of American men and more than 60% of women are obese or overweight. These are also major challenges for Americaâs children â nearly 30% of boys and girls under age 20 are either obese or overweight, up from 19% in 1980.
Thirty-five percent of Americans are classified having a normal weight so far in 2014, while 35.3% of adults are considered overweight.. Meanwhile, underweight Americans make up a very small 2.1% of the adult population. The obesity rate was 25.5% in 2008 when Gallup and Healthways first began tracking it. The percentage of obese adults has fluctuated since then, but is now 2.2 percentage points higher than it was in 2008. Across major demographic categories, obesity rates are higher or stable thus far in 2014 compared with 2013.
