Globally, The Public Underestimates The Extent Of Obesity

Out of every 100 people in your country, how many do you think are overweight or obese? It’s probably far more than you think. Ipsos MORI posed this question to respondents in a recent report, finding that the public underestimates the extent of obesity in most countries around the world. There were some exceptions, however, with several nations overestimating obesity. In India, respondents guessed that 41 out of every 100 people were overweight. The actual number is just 20.
