Did they change the definition of obese between 2012 and 2022?

Yeah, this is a data, inputs or measurement difference graph, not an apples to apples visualization. As bad as healthy and obesity in our country are and have been, this did not change by this much in 10 years. I'd guess either the data for 2012 was skewed low or 2022 high relative to the other.

When did the weight cut offs change? I dont recall seeing that anywhere in the past 15+ years?
