kek 'overweight' according to what? BMI? i'm overweight according to that bullshit statistic and i run a 6.5 minute mile.
70% of americans are in good shape, and the vast majority of obese fucks are in bumblefuck, Kansas. go to any major global city and you'll see that most people are skinny or average.

If you're 5'10 and 175 lbs you're considered overweight by their metric. I'm 5'10 185 and I'm sure as fuck not fat.
Bentley Garcia
This doesn't account for muscle mass, it uses BMI which is retarded.
Most Americans are yoked compared to Europoors and Asians
Brody Long
You guys are retarded. BMI is a good metric for figuring out how fat a country is because very few people lift, and even fewer lift in a productive way so that they gain a significant amount of muscle from it.
Samuel Russell
This is right. I live in NYC and overweight lardasses are rare. I travelled to Lusiana and also spent days in a lost town in Georgia and was amazed to see landwhales everywhere. It's all about diet.
Also I'm not American.
Matthew Adams
It's almost as if the stereotype of fat southern inbred racist church going MAGA fucks who are a drain on society has some truth to it
gee really makes you think

Americans are significantly more muscular than Europeans. Lifting culture is a pretty big thing here and a sizable portion of the population

>37.9% of adults age 20 and older are obese >32.8% of adults age 20 and older are overweight >that means about two-thirds of adults in America are either obese or overweight No it doesn't lmao. Being obese is still considered being overweight. Only 5.1% of adults are exclusively obese, 32.8% exclusively overweight. So would be right in saying 70% are in shape.
Do you guys seriously believe that out of every 100 people, 37 of them are obese? Just look around and get back to me on that lol

Jordan Jones
Stop being retarded. Less than 5% have enough lean mass for it to be a significant factor intheir BMI. Also you're a young person hanging around young people in young people parts of new york. Of course you wouldn't see many fatties there.
Josiah Cooper
We're going to kill you people soon.
Whatever. Is what is either way. Rather have an obese man who has pride than a twig who begs for his own replacement.
Henry Rivera
BF% requires significant time or a water scale to measure, while BMI can be easily calculated. That's why we use the latter for population studies, you get a much larger and much more representative sample. And while yes, while BMI probably isn't accurate measure for you or many users of this board, it's good enough for almost everyone
Mason Stewart
No it isn't. Outside of Iceland the only European countries that do well are in eastern Europe. Brian Shaw wins almost every year and he's American.
Anyway, strongman is not representative of the average person at all. I've lived in both Germany and the US and lifting is significantly more popular in the US.
Joshua Powell
Literally 2/3rds are overweight or obese. You think otherwise because you don't spend much time around people who aren't your age. You're also probably white, and thus spend more time around whites, which are moderately less fat than blacks or hispanics. I live in san antonio. Most people here are fat, almost everyone over 40 is.
Jonathan Kelly
80% of americans don't even claim to do any sort of strength training at all. Of the 20% that do, how many do you think are doing programs which have or would result in significant gains in lean mass? Look around a chain gym, and the answer becomes clear: not fucking many

Samuel Morris
That includes everyone. For men in their twenty's, a significant portion are fit. Looking around my college classes I'd say about 25% of men look muscular. The percent that are fat is like 10%
Cameron Foster
dude thats because your in the closed environment of a college campus.
your perspective is extremely biased and limited. trust me, people are fat as fuck in the real world
its really sad
Gabriel Brooks

There's more fat whites than any other group

Jonathan Williams
You can estimate bf% with a tape measure easy enough though
Alexander Baker

Gavin Anderson
So what? It's proportions that matter.
Aaron Sullivan
Well no, Hispanics aren't white (unless we need to make crime stats more "progressive :^)"). That was sort of my point; I know a pretty high percentage of them (compared to the general population) consider themselves religious.

>Percent of adults aged 20 and over with overweight, including obesity: 70.7% (2013-2014)
70.7% are overweight INCLUDING OBESITY. So of those that are aged 20+ and overweight that means that roughly HALF that number (~35%) are obese. >again for the people in the back 2/3rds of Americans aged 20 and older are overweight and/or obese. SO OP IS RIGHT.
Based off of a United Nations population estimate as of today there are 326,960,585 people living in the United States of America. According to a census report from 2013 23.3% of those are under the age of 20. That means that >76.7% are age 20 or older which is roughly 250,778,769 people >32.8% of that means that 82,255,436 citizens are OVERWEIGHT >37.9% of that means that 95,045,153 citizens are OBESE >167,184,174 Americans age 20 and older are Obese and Overweight.
>So if you are age 20 or older only 83,509,330 are a healthy and normal weight with a healthy BMI.
And this doesn't even touch adolescents and children. The numbers are staggering yall. Also think about how many people who have healthy BMI's are even in shape, athletic, or go to the gym? An even smaller percentage of those adults with a good BMI are in shape and Veeky Forums .
tl:dr >82 million Americans aged 20 or older are overweight >95 million Americans aged 20 or older are obese >Only 83 million of us are at a healthy weight and a much smaller percentage of that is Veeky Forums >167 million adults in the U.S. are overweight and/or obese
>Also according to the CIA world fact book the U.S is #18 as of 2008 for highest obesity rate by country with a rate of 33.0%. However most of the countries with higher rates are small islands with smaller populations. Really makes you think.
Christopher Lopez
>He's overexaggerating ofc but holy shit it's amazing how many fat people are in the south. The obese literally outnum
It's true. Here's a map of obesity rates by state in the U.S. It's similar to map of poverty rates desu.

Ryan Hill
You do realize that blacks and mestizos are fatter than white Americans, don't you? Most of the poor statistics that come from the south like poverty, low education, low IQ, and obesity are because of the black population. >fat southern inbred racist church going Leftists are still stuck in the 1990s/early 2000s political paradigm. Most new right wingers are now working class average white people. Most extreme nationalists are young, disenfranchised white males from all walks of life. It wasn't rednecks who voted Trump into office, it was rust-belt and other working class whites who the left abandoned while chasing after their brown replacement votes.
Jason Brooks
Blacks lead in obesity rates. Majority blacks live in the south. West virginia is alittle odd though but I guess its just mcdonalds

Michael Sanders
This is the correct answer.
Everybody consider what the statistics mean for a moment; nobody suggests that BMI is a perfect measure for every single person in every society. It's not a measure of beauty. But it is a statistical model that predicts certain health factors and complication.
To believe that it doesn't apply to you means that you believe that you are special, truly special. Like, outside of two standard deviations special. And what are the odds that you are in the top 2.5% of humanity? Does anything else in your life corroborate this idea? ARe you in the top 2.5% of your class, in height, in income? Then why wouldn't the BMI apply to you?
I am 6' tall, and 195 lbs. I know that I am overweight, and I'm working on it. Even though I think that I really am more fit than most people (ran 8 miles this morning with an average pace of 8:28 a mile), I know that I need to lose weight because the BMI model probably applies to me, and it means that I am probably at risk for adverse health events.
James Mitchell

Cameron Allen
>Only 5.1% of adults are exclusively obese
that's not how the numbers work. the number is literally what percent are obese. 37.9% of people are obese. i have no idea why you tried subtracting the percent of overweight from the percent of obese and trying to use that as a new number for the percent of obese. that makes no sense.
over two thirds of americans are *at least* overweight, with over a full third of the total population being obese
Oliver Brooks
I live in Colorado, and you're full of shit. Fat people are still everywhere. The difference between the highest and lowest rates of obesity in the country is only 13%. There are only 13% fewer obese people in Colorado than in the fattest states in the country.
Thomas Morales
got a point. Sure Colorado has less fat people just like Massachusetts, DC, Utah, California, Hawaii, and Montana have smaller amounts than the rest of the US. but its still not by much .
Aaron Perez
Yes. 37 out of 100 are obese. Fatties are everywhere. Pretty disgusting.

Joshua Brooks
>To believe that it doesn't apply to you means that you believe that you are special, truly special. Like, outside of two standard deviations special. It's not meant to specifically apply to anyone, and being 'outside' of it isn't as special as you're claiming. It's a tool for statistical analysis over an entire population. It's not meant to be used for individual health assessment. There's no reason to pay attention to BMI when you can receive much more accurate risk predictors (like bf%.)

Isaiah Hall
Look guys, most people DON'T lift weights and aren't just loaded up with muscle. Yeah okay BMI is not a good indicator of individual health UNLESS you're part of the sedentary majority. there's also tons of studies that use it so it's a good metric for researching disease and identifying risk. but yes, you're all very strong handsome boys that defy statistics good job
Christian Jackson
That's not true, and you know it.
Chase Bailey
All this shit from these retards about Trump being some sort of a champion of the white working class is deluded. Niggers and spics aren't taking your jobs... they're being automated, computerized, and outsourced to places where workers rights don't exist to maximize profits for a manipulative leisure class.
I don't give a shit about IDpol, but these dumbass hicks have the class consciousness of a pile of rocks and they're too cucked to even dare to address that shit. They think being worked like a mongrel dog is a virtue. It's their brand of slave morality.
Carson Gonzalez
>Yeah okay BMI is not a good indicator of individual health UNLESS you're part of the sedentary majority even for the fit majority it's a good indicator, the natural limit is around height in cm - 100 = lean natural limit and to get to that you have to be training really hard for many years, realistically, not many natural people that lift weights even get near to their potential
Gabriel Clark

Anthony Jones
I didn't read the thing but does it break it down by race? Anecdotally, my college which is a majority spic has a ridiculous obesity rate, while most of the white students are at least not fat.

Why did you leave out the fact that over 60% of Negroes and Mestizos are obese, which is what's really driving up the obesity rate in USA? Whites are a lot less fat on average.
