clinically obese ( with a BMI of 30 or more), and it is estimated that 9.6 million are extremely
obese, with at least 6 million suffering from the top of the scale, super obesity (with a BMI of 40
or more).

classified as overweight are equally alarming, and is reflected in the new term
"Globesity".

will need some form of weight loss diet !

people has risen dramatically, from the low point of less than 10 percent, up to the now recent
data showing 15 percent, all in just three years.
In Colombia and Brazil, the figure of
overweight people is around 41 percent - comparable to several of the countries in
Europe.
Even Africa is seeing an upward trend in
obesity, with women living in the cities gaining the most weight.
All countries, all regions are suffering
obesity, which is worrying, and it seems to grow inline with a nation, as it's wealth
grows.

number of weight related diseases reported, which include cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes,
