Are educated academics more likely to exercise and care about fitness?

I went to a top school and fat people were almost non existent at my school - and in America 42% of people are obese. But it could also be that these people are in their 20s and most people don't gain weight until they're in their 30s or 40s.

You say your in a top school which means competition to get in so they work on being the best they can be physically as well as mentally. I've rarely met any really intelligent well educated person who didn't take care of themselves physically. You may become overweight in your 30s and 40s but that's not the same as being obese, most obese Americans were overweight growing up and in their 20s but now the next generation are obese growing up.

I think that they earn more money and can engage in fitness activities and have access to healthier food.

No, fitness is a mindset, not a degree level. But academics tend to care more about a healthy body

If they are young it is obvious that they are going to be thin, in fact I weigh 54 kilos.
