Deaths at ages 50–89 years with any mention of obesity, France, Italy, and the United States, 2010–2011. 16% of all weighted deaths are included in the first cluster. For 84% of those deaths, obesity is the underlying cause. Groups of causes that are mentioned on more than 50% of the death certificates of a cluster are in italics. Note that the percentages in a cluster add up to more than 100, because several groups of causes can be listed simultaneously on a death certificate
