Abstract

The global prevalence of people with a body mass index (BMI) over 30 kg/m2 has doubled, over 40 kg/m2 quadrupled, and over 50 kg/m2 increased fivefold. It is projected in Australia that if current rates of weight gain continue, normal-weight adults will constitute less than a third of the population by 2025, and the obesity prevalence will have increased by 65%.
