This statistic depicts the average body mass index (BMI) of U.S. males aged 20 years and over from 1999 to 2016, by age. According to the data, the average male BMI for those aged 40-59 years was 28.3 in 1999-2000 and increased to 29.4 as of 2015-2016.

In 2022, men aged 55 to 64 years had an average body mass index (BMI) of 29 kg/m2 and women in the same age group had a BMI of 28.8 kg/m2, the highest mean BMI across all the age groups. Apart from individuals aged 16 to 24 years, every demographic in England had an average BMI which is classified as overweight.An increasing problem It is shown that the mean BMI of individuals for both men and women has been generally increasing year-on-year in England. The numbers show in England, as in the rest of the United Kingdom (UK), that the prevalence of obesity is an increasing health problem. The prevalence of obesity in women in England has increased by around nine percent since 2000, while for men the share of obesity has increased by six percent. Strain on the health service Being overweight increases the chances of developing serious health problems such as diabetes, heart disease and certain types of cancers. In the period 2019/20, England experienced over 10.7 thousand hospital admissions with a primary diagnosis of obesity, whereas in 2002/03 this figure was only 1,275 admissions. Furthermore, the number of bariatric surgeries taking place in England, particularly among women, has significantly increased over the last fifteen years. In 2019/20, over 5.4 thousand bariatric surgery procedures were performed on women and approximately 1.3 thousand were carried out on men.

The highest share of individuals in normal weight in Sweden in 2023 were in the age group from 16 to 29 years old, and reached 65 percent. Normal weight is defined as a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9. The lowest share of individuals of a normal weight was in the age group from 50 to 64 years old, where the share was 36.9 percent. This age group also had the highest share of individuals that were obese, reaching 21.4 percent.

Number and percentage of adults who reported being overweight or obese, by age group and sex.

The adult obesity rate, or the percentage of the county population (age 18 and older*) that is obese, or has a Body Mass Index (BMI) equal to or greater than 30 [kg/m2], is illustrative of a serious health problem, in Champaign County, statewide, and nationally.

The adult obesity rate data shown here spans from Reporting Years (RY) 2015 to 2024. Champaign County’s adult obesity rate fluctuated during this time, peaking in RY 2022. The adult obesity rates for Champaign County, Illinois, and the United States were all above 30% in RY 2024, but the Champaign County rate was lower than the state and national rates. All counties in Illinois had an adult obesity rate above 30% in RY 2024, but Champaign County's rate is one of the lowest among all Illinois counties.

Obesity is a health problem in and of itself, and is commonly known to exacerbate other health problems. It is included in our set of indicators because it can be easily measured and compared between Champaign County and other areas.

This data was sourced from the University of Wisconsin’s Population Health Institute’s and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s County Health Rankings & Roadmaps. Each year’s County Health Rankings uses data from the most recent previous years that data is available. Therefore, the 2024 County Health Rankings (“Reporting Year” in the table) uses data from 2021 (“Data Year” in the table). The survey methodology changed in Reporting Year 2015 for Data Year 2011, which is why the historical data shown here begins at that time. No data is available for Data Year 2018. The County Health Rankings website notes to use caution if comparing RY 2024 data with prior years.

*The percentage of the county population measured for obesity was age 20 and older through Reporting Year 2021, but starting in Reporting Year 2022 the percentage of the county population measured for obesity was age 18 and older.

The age distribution of the body mass index reveals that weight increases hand in hand with age among the Italian population. In 2023, many Italians aged between 65 and 74 were overweight and obese. The age group with the largest share of normal weight people was the one including individuals who were 18 to 24 years old. However, this portion of the population was also the one with the highest incidence of underweight individuals. To put it in numbers, in 2023, 9.8 percent of Italians aged 18 to 24 were underweight. Prevalence of overweight and underweight Overall, the number of overweight individuals exceeded by far the number of people dealing with underweight. The number of overweight people in Italy increased from 16,642 in 2005 to 17,094 individuals in 2023. Furthermore, the number of underweight individuals peaked in 2023 as a result of a steadily increasing trend started in 2009.   Eating disorders Weight gain or loss is often caused by eating disorders. In 2017, the age group including people aged 20 to 29 years was the one with the highest incidence of both bulimia and anorexia nervosa.
