babyanalraper (12/07/2015) [-] The most determining factor seems to be physical activity though: www.cancer.gov/news-events/press-releases/2012/PhysicalActivityLifeExpectancy
Guideline is aerobic physical activity for 2.5 hours at moderate intensity or 1.25 hours at vigorous intensity, which I think is really low and should be compared to something like 1hr/day.
It's interesting though that, according to this study, it's worse to be completely inactive and skinny than to be a whale that regularly goes swimming. And even though one might be sceptical to statistical medical studies, this one had access to data from more than 650 000 adults, which definitely gives some validity to the figure below.

thejusticar (12/07/2015) [-] Can I get a a reliable source on that? I find it hard to believe that 70% are overweight.

babyanalraper (12/07/2015) [-] If anyone makes a dubious claim you can direct them to this www.who.int/nmh/publications/ncd-status-report-2014/en/ (downloadable pdf). BMI starts at page 200. The average BMI of the inhabitants of Cook Islands is 32 kg/m^2. Over 30 BMI and someone is considered obese...

You can also Google BMI and find out that it is unreliable to determine who is overweight. www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=BMI+reliable

Oh, the denial of truth? A way to measure someone's body size and stature invented by a mathematician, sociologist, statistician and astronomer. Out of all of those there is not the one meaningful entry to declare someone actually being able to declare someone's physical body - a freaking medical doctor.
What's the average person to you? On average, we are taller than the generation from 100 years ago when BMI was invented - by again - a non-medical individual in an age when medicine was still half ******** and half sorcery.
So you are a ******* moron for thinking BMI is "truth." Idiot.

babyanalraper (12/07/2015) [-] For obese yes, but for overweight it's 68.5. I'm just saying that his chart stating 74% wasn't too far off if one's measuring overweight.
I don't like the BMI system very much though, as it's flawed for taller people imo and doesn't take muscle mass into account. But it's cheap and gives an idea of the general state of health. Countries like Japan, for instance, have a much lower rate of obesity and overweight, and its inhabitants are also generally more healthy (physically).
If people actually claim that the obesity rate is 70% though, then that's absolutely hilarious.
