I think the top 10 have less combined population than Alaska or North Dakota, there's generally an accepted sample size requirement for rankings. Kuwait would certainly meet that requirement, though, pushing the US to 2nd.

You are referring to KG's data source, right? 

I find it surprising that the top 10 seem to be mostly Pacific Islands. 

Don't know if "acceptable sample size" applies to a ranking of sovereign nations, though,

if the goal is measure obesity rates in different sovereign nations.
