Trends in age-standardised prevalence of obesity from 1975 to 2016 in East Asian mega countries where cultural moderators of the obesity transition have strongly attenuated the absolute levels of obesity, especially among adults. Obesity defined as body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2 for men and women (≥20 years) and BMI >2 SD above the median of the WHO growth reference for boys and girls (5-19 years). Data are from the NCD-RisC, 2017.
