Talk:List of countries by obesity rate

USA
Why is United States listed twice, at 50 and 42 percent? Seems wrong

Native American Tribal Nations
Indigenous Tribal nations should be listed. Critical to understanding the New World risk association like Pacific Island Nations. 2600:100B:B0C7:A7C2:A18C:3A04:DD3B:D4FA (talk) 22:12, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Inaccurate and misleading
It presents as though the data is all from 2024 but this is not the case, and leads to some outright misinformation. For example, the table claims the UK's obesity is around 20% in 2024, a massive reduction since 2016. Great! Except, if you follow the citation, you'll see that the 20% figure is not from 2024, but actually from 2014, meaning it has gotten dramatically worse since then if anything.

 * Indeed... I don't even understand why these data are presented in the article, since, as the article itself states, All of these numbers are incorrect, and derived from the "World Population Review", a source of dubious quality. What is the point of having an article with incorrect data? I think there is a good chance that this article should be deleted, or maybe the table should contain the data from the WHO (from the Global Obesity Observatory), which is an actual reliable source.

Republic of Korea
The number given for 2024 is 5.9%. Where does this come from? The given source 3 in the article and a lancet paper I found  both put it in the range of 30% at least. This is a huge discrepancy. I'm scared to edit without knowing how the numbers can be so different. 131.111.5.246 (talk) 22:40, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
