Not much I can add to this other than NOTE that the LATEST data (based on what appears at the bottom of the map) is from 2016. That was 6 (if not 7) years ago. So, this map is a bit dated. But, I am sure the overall picture hasn’t changed — just that some of the BLUES would have got darker.
The numbers are India have to be distorted by their HUGE village-dwelling population. Of late I have been watching a quite a lot of Indian movies on ‘Netflix‘ & I am always struck by how many folks, of both genders & across the age spectrum, are overweight if not obese. Yes, much of that is to do with their carb-rich diet.
All said, an interesting & sobering map to contemplate.
