In the article Dr. Popkin says "nearly a quarter." Here is the direct text from the paper: "As one might expect, the combination of all of these forces has resulted in a rapid increase in the distribution of the body mass index (BMI) of the Chinese population, particularly adults. Overweight status among adult males tripled and among adult females, doubled, between 1989 and 2000. By 2004, nearly a quarter of all Chinese adults were overweight. Moreover, the rate of change of Chinese overweight status, in particular among adults, is one of the most rapid in the world and far larger than that in the United States." Jane Frederick,

In the extract from the Health Affairs website Dr. Popkin's paper says that more than one fifth [which I take to mean 20%] of China's adult population is overweight. Yet your blog, and several other media have been using a figure of 25%, or one quarter. Which figure is correct? thanks Frederik Jane-
