This represents a very large improvement for boys, 26% of whom had reported repeated drunkenness in 2001-02. Based on 2014 self-reported data (which tend to underestimate the true prevalence of obesity), about one in six (16.1%) adults in Portugal is now obese, which is nearly one percentage point above the EU average. Consistent with the pattern in other EU countries, the obesity level among those with the lowest level of education is more than twice as high as the level among the highest educated. Rates of physical inactivity for both adults and 15-year-olds are among the highest in EU countries.
