The percentage of adult Japanese men who are obese has increased over the past few years, according to a survey by the country's government.
Kyodo reports that the percentage of Japanese men with a body mass index (BMI) of over 25 didn't change much between 2009 and 2013. However, survey data from 2,836 households in 2019 found that 33% of adult Japanese men have a BMI of over 25. This is an increase of 4.4 percentage points from 2013.
 
BMI uses body weight and height to measure if a person's weight is healthy. The Japanese government defines
obesity as having a BMI of 25. However, the World Health Organization defines a BMI of over 25 as overweight, and a BMI of over 30 as obese.
 
The research also found 39.7% of men in their 40s and 39.2% of men in their 50s were obese according to Japan's definition.
 
However, 39.3% of obese men said they had no interest in improving their diet, or thought they should but didn't plan to. The survey found that 22.3% of Japanese women are obese, and among them, 33.1% aren't interested in changing how they eat.
 
Among all adults, including those who are not obese, 41.6% of men and 52.8% of women said they were too busy to eat better or exercise more.
 
🌏Summary
調查顯示,日本成年男性肥胖的比例在過去幾年來持續上升。BMI 透過體重和身高來計算一個人的體重是否健康。然而,許多肥胖的男性表示,他們並不想改變生活習慣。主要是因為他們太過忙碌,沒辦法吃得更好或是多運動。
