Detailed explanation-1: -In most low-and middle-income countries, the prevalence of overweight and obesity is higher among wealthier individuals than among poorer.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), the most obese countries are primarily located in the Pacific and the Middle East. The Pacific island nations of Nauru, Cook Islands, and Palau have the highest rates of obesity, with over 30% of their populations being classified as obese.
