UK obesity rates worse than the OECD average
The overall health of British people is similar to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) average,
considering life expectancy and other general measures of health status, according to the OECD, but obesity rates are considerably
worse than the OECD average. The major risk factors of smoking and alcohol consumption were also similar to the OECD average.
