How are you determining this? Are you looking at the correlation of body
mass index and other signs of obesity with race.
I'm afraid you can't do that since you consider correlation is not a useful
tool in determining causation.

The "causation" of obesity is simply that an -individual- is storing a large excess of calories, for whatever reason(s). There are fat, average and thin people in all "races" and most cultures.

The culture of the UK roughly is roughly similar to that of the most prevalent demographic of the US. However, the US is more diverse, has more cultures, so results are likely to be different.
