Trinidad and Tobago (30%)In this country, obesity affects almost every one of 3 people. Recent studies Caribbean Institute for Food and Nutrition in Trinidad and Tobago, especially among children, has shown an interesting trend. Everything was very simple, and the rise of obesity coincides with the development of industry of fast food in this area of the world. In addition, it is likely just the tip of the iceberg. According to rough estimates, the people here spend up to $5 billion a year on medical needs associated with obesity. Thus, Trinidad and Tobago is the most fat country in the Caribbean in the world.
Venezuela (30.8%)the average obesity rate in Venezuela (30.8%) is quite modest, as according to the own estimate of the Venezuelan government, it is much higher and amounts to 38%. At least the government is trying to solve this problem, and President Maduro launched a national campaign to combat obesity. Opened new government agencies dealing with monitoring of the nutrition advice in places where problem is most relevant (e.g. in schools). It is difficult to imagine that Venezuela was a terrible problem of malnutrition just 20 years ago. The situation with obesity in the country is quite critical, although it is under control
USA (31.8%)frankly, you thought that the United States will be higher on the list suffering from obesity. This is because 8-I was the fattest country in the world most of all focuses on the problem and trying to deal with it. It is also the only Western country where 1 in 3 people is obese. Perhaps the scale of the problem is exaggerated in the media, but the physical shape of the United States remains a huge paradox. The markets for consumer goods only help to identify both sides of the issue. Does the country progress in the fight against obesity? Only time will tell. At the moment the most obvious the alarmists can find a tiny drop of solace in the fact that the U.S. is not the fattest country in the world, and many say is just the fattest superpower.
Mexico (32.8%)obesity Mexico has begun to emerge in the 1980's, when processed food supplanted the traditional grain and vegetables in the food market of Mexico. Today, seven out of ten Mexicans are overweight and three out of ten are clinically obese. The Mexican Congress has been more aggressive at taking action than most countries, lately releasing many laws against junk food in the form of “sin taxes”. They are similar to those which taxed alcohol and tobacco, such as the 5% tax on packaged foods with 275 calories (or more) per 100 grams and an extra peso on every liter of saturated sugar drink. The Mexican President Also said that within a decade, the sale of harmful products snizjatsja, and the money from taxes will be spent on the clinical treatment of obesity.
South Africa (33.5%)With increasing orientation towards the Western way of life, South Africa became the only African country in the Sahara desert with a serious weight problem. Trends suggest that a large part of the southern continent will be confronted with problems of obesity and related diseases in the next two decades. It all goes hand in hand with the fact why the markets fast food here is so wildly successful. Cheap, fast and affordable food is a significant factor in the promotion of the restless tendencies of weight gain. Around the world the fullness associated with wealth, and thinness with poverty, but South African culture is a Prime example of how this model is flipped upside the head.
United Arab Emirates (33.7%)In the past year, the government of Dubai announced the competition, which consisted in 30-day weight loss. The main reward for losing weight was gold. The participants had the chance to win two grams of pure gold for every kilogram of weight lost in the name of fighting obesity. Apparently, it was not enough to overcome the fifth, the obesity rate in the world, or the second highest percentage of diabetes in the world. But it really symbolizes the desire of countries to limit the influence of emerging markets junk food, longer working hours and a growing culture of inactivity. A few months later, the government placed a ban on the size of supersize in fast food, that already seems like a good start to fight obesity.
Jordan (34.3%)Report of University of Jordan 2010 marks the percentage of obesity of Jordanian adult women at the level of 60%, which is almost twice more than men. It seems that the country got hooked on fast food and colonization of Coca-Cola. 82% of women aged 15-29 years in Jordan are unemployed, and the vast majority of them are absolutely not engaged in any sports. According to statistics, obese people on average live 5-7 years less than healthy people.
Egypt (34.6%)As in other countries of the middle West, in Egypt, there is the problem of obesity, which especially affects women. As a result, Egypt has one of the highest percentages of obesity in the world. Here is the junk food fattens for slaughter culture. For example, 10% of Egyptians drink five or more cans of soda daily, while consuming large amounts of junk food from fast food. A report by Euromonitor International 2011 estimated that 53% of women aged 15 years and above will be obese by 2020.
Saudi Arabia (35.2%)to promote gender equality, the Saudi government recently allowed women to play sports in public schools. Conservative Saudi culture against physical activity for women, but even the most solid segregationist in the Persian Gulf can't deny that 37% of health problems in women are associated with overweight and obesity. Approximately 72% of women older than 40 years are clinically obese, the Saudi Kingdom will likely face enormous health challenges in coming years.
Kuwait (42.8%)When the American troops arrived in Kuwait during the first Gulf war, the American fast food came along with them. Since then, it has spread like a virus, and most Kuwaiti citizens don't realize the whole seriousness of the potential harm of unhealthy food. Along with new eating habits took place and the oil boom of Kuwait, which completely transformed the country. Kuwait became rich, the developed infrastructure, but the residents have not learned to distinguish McDonald's and Burger King from the high cuisine. The result — every second inhabitant of the country suffers from obesity.
