Percentage of Population Considered Obese – 43.30%

Another Pacific island, about 40% of Tonga’s citizens suffer from type 2 diabetes. People here are fond of imported junk food and cheap meat such as tinned corned beef, cheap chicken, turkey tails, and mutton flaps, which are cited as the main reason for people’s obesity.
