DreAming in DigITal Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I just saw this listing for the top 8 overweight nations: 1. Samoa 2. United States 3. Mexico 4. Russia 5. England 6. Chile 7. Germany 8. Saudi Arabia Is this correct? I thought the US would by far be the heaviest, but I can't find any more numerical listings like this. Does anyone know the full "Top 20" or so??

o_87 Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I would have thought Canada would be quite up there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_Candyman Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 naw, despite how many obsceleny obese people we see in canada (especially alberta, I've never seen more than in alberta) we're definitely not on the top of the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Righty Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Yeah and wheres Australia.. i thought we were number 2 after america oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lav-chan Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 You can't get accurate with it. A while ago i remember an article about Australia being way up there too, but i don't know. Who cares, anyway? Just an excuse to make fun of people. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axon Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I too thought Canada would rank higher on obesity lists. Guess its really good news that we're not!! :D -Ax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2009 Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 to hell with them, if they want to shorten their life span and make those remaining years spent in joint pains and heavy medication then i say let them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neowin_hipster Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I noticed the one fred posted to had BMI which is totally a bogus scale. According to that an athelete can be easily overweight. Looking around town we seem to be pretty decent but there are too many people who are kinda chunky but diet a lot. WE must admit that no one gets off their ass and works out anymore. Wouldn't it be cool if everyone had a bowflex body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Derf Veteran Posted May 4, 2005 Veteran Share Posted May 4, 2005 Thanks Fred?(Y)) 585868801[/snapback] If you don't care about comparing data from the exact same years then you could look at this spreadsheet. http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/13/26/31963708.xls One could make their own chart if one didn't mind comparing 2001 data from one country with 2002 data from another. Yeah, you're stats professor would have a brain hemorrhage but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoufo51 Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 lol @ Samoans.. aren't they born like that? ;) 585871923[/snapback] I laughed when I saw that too, lol. Its so frickin funny. I'd hate to be built like your typical Samoan because man, those guys are huge, and their women are just as big. I have yet to see a Samoan chick with a nice body.

sin-ergy Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Hmm.....I wonder if there is also a relation to life span. Do they die younger as well? Would be interesting to find out.
