Death fats are fewer and further between, but it also depends on where you go. For example, there are a lot of foreigners in a district called Itaewon, and there are many, many more obese/deathfat Koreans there (and usually dating military personnel...dependas cross the seas, too). The obesity rate here isn't as bad as some western countries, but it is growing. For example, in 2002, only 2.5% of the adult population was obese. In 2013, it was 4.2%, with 7.1% of males with an additional 6.2% of males being overweight. Specific groups of the population are hit harder and it seems that the younger you are, the higher your instances of being obese. For men, it's ages 20-30...but overall, being a child puts you at a high risk. For example, boys between ages five and 17 were found to be at a 25% obesity rate, which is higher than the OECD average of 23%.
