Sorry I'm posting again. I need to find the obesity rates of the countries Romania, Russia, and Rwanda by gender. (for example ___ percent of Russian women are overweight; _____ percent of Russian men are overweight). I can't find any websites! D: Anny help would be appreciated. Thank you! Hace a nice night! God Bless! <3

You may have to search and research, but once you learn some good sources and methods, you should have success. In addition to searching on the Internet, you also need to make best friends with the reference librarian(s) in your local or college library. Libraries these days subscribe to enormous research databases, and they are often more useful than Internet searches. Ask your librarian if you have access to EBSCOHost -- it has several databases within it, including a huge one for academic research.

For Internet searching:

At this webpage, you can go immediately to the search sites (first three columns across the top) -- or even better you can scroll down until you see the section called HOW TO SEARCH THE INTERNET. Those are the links to start with. You'll not only learn how to come up with good search terms, but also how to evaluate the webpages you get as results. Some will be good and others will be garbage. You need to know how to tell the difference.

My favorite way to search is to go to Google's advanced search page http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en and put my search words or phrases into the first or second search box (either "all the words" or "exact phrase"). Another is to start out at http://scholar.google.com. However, there many other strategies for searching you can use, and the HOW TO SEARCH THE INTERNET section will help you best.

Learning to use Google or other search engines can save you time and help you learn to find information efficiently. Here are some websites that can teach you how:

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!

You're very welcome.

No problem at all! I'm here to help. To find the obesity rates of specific countries like Romania, Russia, and Rwanda, there are a few options you can try:

1. World Health Organization (WHO) website: The WHO provides comprehensive health statistics, including obesity rates for various countries. Visit the WHO website at www.who.int and navigate to the "Data and Statistics" section. From there, you can search for the specific country obesity rates you are interested in.

2. Global Health Observatory (GHO) website: The GHO is an initiative by WHO that focuses on providing access to health-related data. You can access the GHO website at apps.who.int/gho/. Once there, use the search function to look for obesity rates by country and gender.

3. National Health Departments: Check the official websites of the national health departments or ministries of the respective countries. They often publish reports and data related to obesity and other health indicators.

4. Academic or Research Institutions: Universities or research institutions within these countries might conduct studies or surveys on obesity rates. Look for their websites and search for relevant publications or reports.

When searching or navigating these websites, use keywords such as "obesity rates," "overweight prevalence," or "body mass index (BMI)" to refine your results. Remember to specify the country and gender filters to find data for each specific group.

It's also worth noting that data may not always be readily available or up to date for every country or gender separately. Depending on the sources and reports, the data may vary in terms of methodology and year of collection.
