<em>The answer is</em> <em>nearly 172 million people</em>.


National Center for Health Statistics reported in 2005 that the American Adult Population had a proportion of:

  • 32,7% Overweight (BMI > 25),
  • 34,3% Obese (30<BMI<40)
  • 5,9% Extremely obese (BMI>40)

BMI = Body Mass Index

If we add all of them we obtain 72,9%

The total population in 2005 in USA was 295.500.000 people

The percentage of adult people (>15 years old) was 80%.

If we multiply:    0,729 x 0,80 x 295.500.000 people

we obtain a resulting value of  172.335.600 people.
