【正确答案】正确答案: As is shown in the chart, the incidence of obesity or overweight is of different propensity across different ages and gender groups. To be exact, on average, 37% of the women are obese or overweight, compared to 47% of the men. When age is factored in, the peak percentage of obesity is found in the 40-year-old men, with over 55% being obese, while obese women peak at the 60-year-old age group, taking up 50% of the group. This chart seems to demonstrate that men are hit by obesity problem at a much younger age than women (e.g. 40 vs. 60) and that men are more likely to suffer from overweight problems (47% vs. 37%). To solve and prevent obesity issue, we are advised to follow a regular exercising scheme and pursue a healthy diet. This is especially true for men, because they are usually so absorbed in making a living while ignoring their health condition.
