A. "In 2015, among those aged 50-59 and 60-69, obesity was more common than being over-, underweight, or having a normal weight."
B. "In 2015, in the 50-59 and 60-69 age groups, more people were obese than under-, overweight or normal in weight."
C. "In 2015, a higher percentage of those aged 50-59 and 60-69 were obese than over-, underweight, or of normal weight."
D. "In 2015, there was a higher proportion of obese 50 to 59 and 60 to 69 year olds than people in the same age groups whose weight were normal, under- or overweight."
Source: me (I wrote all the sentences)
1) Is sentence C grammatically correct and accurate (does it and the other 3 sentences have the same meaning)?
2) About this part "...overweight or normal in weight...", should I have used 'and' instead of 'or'?
3) I struggle with using comparatives, so please tell me in which sentences did I use them awkwardly and in an ungrammatical way?
