The share of adults with a body mass index of 25 and above — including those who are obese.
The ranking uses the latest available value for each country. For all of them that is 2024.
Top-20 · % of adults
The scale does not start at zero — the values lie in a narrow range, and starting from zero the bars would be indistinguishable. The axis ticks are labeled.

The share of people aged 18 and over with a body mass index of 25 kg/m² and above. The threshold of 25 separates normal weight from excess weight, and this indicator includes everyone who is obese as well — that is, it is always larger than the obesity indicator rather than complementing it. The difference between the two series is the share of people with excess weight but without obesity.
Important: It includes obesity, so the two indicators cannot be added. The aggregate by group is weighted by the whole population rather than the adult one.
The share of adults with a body mass index of 30 and above. The WHO series runs from 1980.
Nutrition 1980–2024 Underweight in adultsThe share of adults with a body mass index below 18.5.
Diseases 2000–2021 Probability of dying from noncommunicable diseasesThe chance for a thirty-year-old of dying before 70 of cancer, diabetes, heart disease or respiratory disease.
Nutrition 2000–2024 Tobacco use prevalenceThe share of adults who use tobacco in any form.
Nutrition 2000–2024 Access to clean waterThe share of the population with access to basic sources of drinking water.
Nutrition 2000–2024 Access to basic sanitationThe share of the population with access to improved sanitation and hygiene conditions.
