if you factor in overweight too the statistics jump up

Almost 3 in 4 men (73.7 percent) were considered to be overweight or have obesity; and about 2 in 3 women (66.9) were considered to be overweight or have obesity.

https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/health-statistics/overweight-obesity

Reminder that fit, muscular men and fit women with a larger bust are technically considered overweight as far as their BMI.

I wonder if that population of people skew the statistics that much in that particular study though. I do find it a bit odd that a higher percentage of men were considered over weight compared to women because literally everything else I've ever seen about the topic has always pointed to the opposite.
