(Claude AI) What percentage of American women are overweight?

According to recent statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), around 60.7% of women in the United States over the age of 20 are considered overweight as of 2018.

Specifically:

32.8% of American women over 20 are overweight (defined as having a body mass index or BMI between 25.0 to 29.9).
27.9% are obese (BMI of 30 or higher).
When you combine the overweight and obese categories, the total percentage considered overweight is 60.7%.

The rates of overweight and obesity are higher among middle-aged and older women in the US. For example, over 70% of women in their 60s in America are overweight.

The rates also vary by race and ethnic background. Non-Hispanic black women have the highest rates of obesity at 56.9%, with Hispanic women at 46.9%, non-Hispanic white women at 38.4%, and non-Hispanic Asian women at 12.7%, according to CDC data.

So in summary, the majority of adult women in the United States - around 6 in 10 - are currently categorized as overweight or obese based on their body mass index. This percentage has increased significantly over the past few decades.

As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, the percentage of American women who were considered overweight or obese varied depending on the specific data source and methodology used. Generally, it was estimated that around 70% of American adults were overweight or obese. However, these numbers can change over time due to various factors, including changes in lifestyle, dietary habits, and healthcare interventions.
