Between 2017 and 2020, about 31.6 percent of Italian adults were overweight, while around 10.8 percent of them were obese. This statistic highlights differences in these figures in terms of educational level of overweight and obese individuals. According to data, there was a clear relation between weight class and level of education. Overweightness and obesity appeared to be more widespread among individuals with a low education level. On the other hand, individuals with a university degree were less likely to suffer from these conditions.
