In 2018, roughly 60 percent of the Belgian male population was overweight and 20 percent of them were obese. Although most overweight men in Beligum were aged 65 years or older, the majority of obese men were aged 40 to 64 years old. Having a body mass index that falls in either of these two categories is linked to various health consequences.
