      Already done, it’s about the same.

      Obesity affects ∼20% of U.S. youth, with severe obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥120th of the 95th percentile and/or ≥35 kg/m2) at record high prevalence.

      Oops this source only counted obesity and not overweight as the original post does. It’s actually ~33%; you were correct.

        Which isn’t surprising, factoring worldwide would include war torn countries and places where there’s severe famine.
