Tackling the UK’s obesity challenge
-
Global obesity rates have tripled since 1975 and the UK now ranks among the worst-performing countries in Europe.
-
Today, around a quarter of UK adults are living with obesity and studies suggest this could rise to 36 per cent of the adult population by 2040.
-
Obesity already costs the NHS £6.5 billion annually and this is predicted to rise to more than £9.7 billion each year by 2050.
