"70 out of every 100 Saudis suffer from obesity and it has become one of the country’s leading causes of preventable death."

Globally, The Public Underestimates The Extent Of Obesity

Niall McCarthy 

"In the United States, participants guessed that exactly half of all Americans are overweight. The real number is higher; 66 percent of American adults are classified as being overweight. The most notable underestimations occurred in Turkey and Saudi Arabia. In the latter, the average guess was quite low, only 28. In reality, however, the Saudi obesity rate is shocking. 70 out of every 100 Saudis suffer from obesity and it has become one of the country’s leading causes of preventable death."
