It maps about 1:1 with the amount of sugary, fatty, addictive shit they're consuming. Across the globe. So do the trends. Prime example being the rising obesity rates in countries like Japan and Korea, rising at the exact same pace as the supply and consumption of above crap in those countries. They still have lower obesity rates than much of the West, at roughly the same relative difference of the amount of such crap consumed.

Obesity is rising everywhere except places experiencing war-torn famine. Even Bhutan has increasing waistlines. It's only a matter of how bad it is getting, how fast.
