New figures suggest the longstanding reputation, that has been the subject of books like Why French Women don't Get Fat, is more myth than reality (or perhaps just based on a wealthy Paris elite).

The figures released on Tuesday reveal that over the age of 30, some 56.8 percent of French men are overweight or obese and 40.9 percent of French women of the same age also tip the scales as obese or overweight.

This comes from a study carried out by French researchers at the journal Bulletin épidémiologique hebdomadaire (BEH).

Researchers weighed 30,000 French people for the study, finding that 15.8 percent of the men classified as obese compared to 15.6 percent of women.

NHANES 2016 statistics showed that about 39.6% of American adults were obese.
