WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 (UPI) -- Obesity is not just a U.S. issue although Americans are still the fattest, a Gallup poll indicates.
The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, which tracks obesity in America, Britain and Germany monthly, found Americans are in far worse shape than are Britons and Germans. Twenty-five percent of Americans are obese, compared with 20 percent of Britons and slightly more than 10 percent of Germans, the index indicated.
