I'm trying to find international obesity prevalence by year

Question

I'm trying to find international obesity prevalence by year. Does anyone have a source at the country level?

Answer 1

Here are two potential sources for you:

• http://www.worldobesity.org/aboutobesity/world-map-obesity/ has an interactive map and from that I found some endpoints:
  • http://www.worldobesity.org/maps/adults/data.json and http://www.worldobesity.org/maps/children/data.json
  • for more detailed data by country, you can hit http://www.worldobesity.org/maps/ajax/1/UK and http://www.worldobesity.org/maps/ajax/1/US
• https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2228rank.html is the CIA Factbook which I bet many people have created scrapers and APIs for
