I'd say it's far more than 1% of (significantly) overweight people who have emotional problems of some kind d or depression. A poor lifestyle can easily lead people to being a BIT overweight, carrying some extra pounds / a belly etc. But if we're talking actual obesity... It's very often a reward-cycle addiction and that usually has attached emotional and personal issues. And then it's like any other vice, really. There's not much point tackling the symptoms (being fat) until the cause has been identified and dealt with. A *lot* of overweight people manage to lose the weight when they have chronic dieting / exercise to turn their focus to, and then as soon as they reach the desired weight and its back to normal existence, the weight just goes back on because the underlying problem is still there.
