Humid places with a heavy prevalence of the famine-associated East Asian EDAR mutation (e.g., the Philippines, Korea, Japan) tend to have very low obesity rates, while places with high obesity rates (Peru, the Arab countries, Pacific Islands) tend to be places often lacking in fresh water. Obesity decreases mobility and chance of survival in a flood-related famine.
