Obesity is a major public health and economic problem of global significance. Prevalence rates are
increasing in all parts of the world, both in affluent Western countries and in poorer nations. Men,
women and children are affected. Indeed, overweight, obesity and health problems associated
with them are now so common that they are replacing the more traditional public health concerns.
adult mortality attributable to overnutrition was estimated to be about 1 million
deaths, double the 0.5 million attributable to undernutrition.
