USA edit

Why is United States listed twice, at 50 and 42 percent? Seems wrong

Native American Tribal Nations edit

Indigenous Tribal nations should be listed. Critical to understanding the New World risk association like Pacific Island Nations. 2600:100B:B0C7:A7C2:A18C:3A04:DD3B:D4FA (talk) 22:12, 24 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Inaccurate and misleading edit

It presents as though the data is all from 2024 but this is not the case, and leads to some outright misinformation. For example, the table claims the UK's obesity is around 20% in 2024, a massive reduction since 2016. Great! Except, if you follow the citation, you'll see that the 20% figure is not from 2024, but actually from 2014, meaning it has gotten dramatically worse since then if anything.

Republic of Korea edit

The number given for 2024 is 5.9%. Where does this come from? The given source 3 in the article [1] and a lancet paper I found [2] both put it in the range of 30% at least. This is a huge discrepancy. I'm scared to edit without knowing how the numbers can be so different. 131.111.5.246 (talk) 22:40, 3 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
