Pacific island nations and associated states make up the top seven on a 2007 list of heaviest countries, and eight of the top ten. In all these cases, more than 70% of citizens age 15 and over are obese. A mitigating argument is that the BMI measures used to appraise obesity in Caucasian bodies may need to be adjusted for appraising obesity in Polynesian bodies, which typically have larger bone and muscle mass than Caucasian bodies; however, this would not account for the drastically higher rates of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes among these same islanders.

Em todos eles, mais de 70% dos cidadãos com 15 anos ou mais são obesos. Um argumento atenuante é o de que o IMC utiliza medidas para avaliar a obesidade em corpos brancos, e pode precisar ser ajustado para a avaliação de obesidade em corpos polinésios, que normalmente possuem um índice maior de massa óssea e muscular do que a de caucasianos.
