It's really not that much of a stretch to imagine a further 14% are physically unhealthy while not meeting the criteria for obesity (realistically much more). Think of all the slim to slightly overweight people who drink excessively, use other harmful substances, eat like crap, get poor sleep, have lots of poorly managed stress, or avoid exercise. Any one of these things can lead to being physically unhealthy (even when you appear fine outwardly).
