Three quarters of the population of Bonaire consider themselves healthy, despite the fact that 61% of the population is overweight. This remarkable result was recently published by the Dutch Central Bureau for Statistics (CBS). People were interviewed about their health, lifestyle, medical history and other issues that affect their daily life such as safety, housing and transport. More women suffer from severe obesity than men and 70% of people between the age of 45 and 65 are considered obese.
