World maps Trend plots Ranking plots Bubble plots Distribution plots

Age-standardised estimates for adults aged 18 years and older.

A positive number shows a higher urban mean BMI and a negative number a higher rural mean BMI.

We did not estimate for countries and territories in which the entire population lives in areas classified as urban (Singapore, Hong Kong (1993 onwards), Bermuda and Nauru) or rural (Tokelau).
