The small Pacific island state of Nauru, known in the local language as Naoero, is cited as holding the world record for childhood obesity. According to figures circulating online, 60% of children aged 5 to 19 are overweight and 35% are obese. The statistic is presented as an anecdotal but striking illustration of the nutrition and health challenges facing Pacific island nations.
Why now: The striking figures highlight Nauru's widely known status as the country with some of the highest child obesity rates in the world, prompting renewed discussion of Pacific health and nutrition problems.
