This is interesting, in part because I kind of thought the "obesity epidemic" had stopped being a thing, either in reality or political reality.

Two quick questions:

Do they use BMI for determining obesity, and if so, do they mention the equation/thresholds they use? When people mention looking at set points as a function of weight in an area, I wonder a bit about height in the area too, among other things.

Do SMTM address age? I would expect an aging area to get heavier overtime even with the same people; age and weight gain are highly correlated with most people, until about middle age.
