- dekhn 7y agoI'm going off this page: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db288.pdf https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db288.pdf Please note the table you showed the 73% is combination of "overweight" and "obese" while the row that shows obese is the same number as my citation.
- dekhn 7y agoI don't understand why people are downvoting me when I'm literally quoting the stats from the agency that defines this. If you're downvoting, can you at least reply to provide some technical signal so I can update my knowledge? EDIT: I misread the original message and thought it was referring to just obesity, not obesity/overweight.
