Does anyone know the percentage of obese people in comparison to average?

These stats are from Fox & Friends Dr. Manny (I saw the show a couple of weeks ago.  It's from memory so I might be off a bit):\n\n50% of Americans are overweight.  However this includes 99% of pro athletes.  You might be 5'10", 190lbs, all muscle... you're overweight.\n\n33% of Americans are obese.  According to the WHO, 23% or more body fat.  Most linemen in the NFL.\n\n18% of Americans are glutonus.  33% body fat.\n\nHouston is the fattest city in America according to the 2000 cencus.

It would depend on your focus about obesity in children.  What age group(s) are you talking about? Are you trying to connect it to parental obesity? We really need more facts to really help you!

2/3 of the population is overweight or obese.  You tell me if that's a problem.

Mate, I was in India this time last year and the number of overweight people surprised me at first. Then I noticed how much sugar you guys consume. (Chai, chapattis, rotis, rice, etc.) The only people over there not putting on weight are the farmers and those in physical work. \nUnfortunately the west has brought its culture (Maccas and cola)and the desk jobs have greatly increased in India.\nForget Liposuction and the like, just get moving and cut back on those carbohydrates.

It depends on your height, age, and gender but Body Mass Index and a body fat percentage are the best ways to find out. A healthy BMI is considered somewhere between 18.5 to 24.9. A healthy body fat percentage for women is between 20-38%.

It's about 7-8% of body weight

Actually, your BMI is 24.6, which is perfectly normal. I used this page to calculate it: http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/bmi-m.htm\n\nIf you have a percentage, it's probably your percentage body fat. According to this site: http://www.weightlossresources.co.uk/body_weight/body_fat/percentage.htm\nyou are slightly under-fat (see the scale at the bottom of the page).\n\nHope that helps!

Well, I doubt that. Americans seem to becoming obese all on their own.

Yes it is. I'm currently writing a thesis on Adult Obesity myself. Obesity is a medical condition that affects not only the US but also a large percentage of the world. Furthermore it is an American epidemic. The percentage of childhood obesity increases annually. Its also a major public health problem because obesity is a well-known and proven risk factor to other diseases - such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, gallbladder disease, gout, stroke, sleep apnoea, depression and osteoarthritis of the weight-bearing joints. \n\nFor general facts on obesity, I would advise you to consult a nutrionist, a professional or a medical encyclopedia. Cheers!

I have no idea what the percentage is.  I don't think it's that high. \n\nI certainly hope it isn't.
