5 Most Obese Countries in Asia

4. Egypt 

Obesity Rate: 35.7% 

In Egypt, obesity affects over 35.7% of the age-standardized population, placing Egypt among the most obese countries in Asia. Middle-aged people are more vulnerable, with women more so than men. A lack of availability to nutrient-dense foods, poor diets high in sugar-filled drinks and fast food, and sedentary lifestyles all add to the issue. Furthermore, a low proportion of Egyptians engage in consistent physical activity, which exacerbates the obesity crisis.
