Mildly infuriating you didn’t say what’s being measured.
It is in my title
I created this post and then edited it a few seconds later. Apparently the changes didn't propagate.
Ah yes. I too have 20% obesity.
But what about your state?
Fat explosion
Sure, but what constitutes obesity in the U.S.A.?
It is based on BMI
I first noticed when I went to a Walmart in the Midwest.
I understand it would be based on BMI, but the threshold for obesity varies per country. I remember the health ministry in my country increased the threshold for obesity from 24 to 25 in an attempt to decrease the obesity numbers.
Eventually, BMI only works for "regular" people and not for "sportive" people or "athletes" as muscle is heavier than fat. (A body builder may have a BMI of 26 with little to no fat)
BMI "works" for populations. It was originally designed and characterized to measure populations, and so it's the perfect thing to compare massive populations, like states. The majority of people are adequately characterized by BMI, just as they are by waist circumference measures. The "outliers" are vastly more likely to pipe up online.
The people who don't understand what you mean but are obese are more likely to pipe up online.
