Entertainment Updates : Singapore Has 3rd Highest Percentage Of Overweight Population In Southeast Asia


URL: https://www.8days.sg/entertainment/local/singapore-3rd-highest-percentage-overweight-population-southeast-asia-840216

BoltAI: 

Singapore ranks third in Southeast Asia for the percentage of its overweight population, with 11.6% classified as overweight, according to a recent infographic from Seasia Stats based on data from The World Factbook. The countries with higher rates are Brunei (28.2%) and Malaysia (19.7%), while Thailand follows Singapore. Other countries in the region, like the Philippines and Indonesia, have lower obesity rates.

The rising obesity levels in Singapore have sparked discussions online, with many attributing the high rates to factors such as the consumption of sugary drinks, easy access to affordable food, and a sedentary lifestyle influenced by the humid climate. Some netizens pointed out that local dishes are often high in sodium and carbohydrates, contributing to weight gain. 

While many Singaporeans expressed concern about the findings, some argued that the data is negatively framed, noting that Singapore’s rates are still lower compared to countries like the US, which has an obesity rate of 40.3%. Additionally, there are criticisms of using BMI as a sole measure of obesity, as it does not account for muscle mass or fat distribution. The conversation raises questions about the need for increased physical activity among Singaporeans.

Opinion:

We are not first? Inconceivable! πŸ˜‚
We have to stay healthy!
There is no point having wealth without health! 😏
