Europes growing obesity crisis will see almost three-quarters of men and
two-thirds of women in the UK being overweight in 15 years, health experts
have said.
.
Projections by the World Health Organisation and UK-based researchers lay
bare a problem of enormous proportions facing many countries over the next
decade and a half.
.
Ireland leads the trend, with new figures to be presented on Wednesday to
the European Congress on Obesity, in Prague suggesting that 89% of men and
85% of women in the country will be overweight or obese by 2030.
.
In the UK, the comparable figures will be 74% for men and 64% for women,
up from 70% and 59% respectively five years ago. The statistics for 57
countries are based on analysis of existing data for 2010 and projections
which involved the UK Health Forum, an alliance of public interest and
professional groups.
.
It is reluctant to present the findings as a league table because of the
variety and quality of data. However, the figure for Irish men is only
matched by Uzbekistan.

Other countries facing growing obesity problems include Greece, Spain,
Austria and the Czech Republic. Even Sweden, where there has traditionally
been a low prevalence of obesity, will see significant rises.
.
Researchers said most countries show no evidence of reaching even a
plateau in adult obesity.

Laura Webber, of the UK Health Forum, warned there was a worrying picture
of rising obesity across Europe. She said: Although there is no silver
bullet for tackling the epidemic, governments must do more to restrict
unhealthy food marketing and make healthy food more affordable.
.
Webber said the present obesegenic environment encouraged the
over-consumption of energy dense foods and discouraged physical activity.
Restricting the marketing of unhealthy food to children, making healthier
food more affordable, for example through subsidies on fruit and
vegetables, and making less healthy food more expensive by using taxes,
for example on sugary drinks, were among the measures needed, she told the
Guardian.
.
There should be fewer sugars and fats in processed food and clear
nutritional labelling, Webber said.
.
In another paper to be presented to the conference on Wednesday, Dragos
Petrescu, of Cambridge Universitys behaviour and health research unit,
will say that only a minority of the UK and US populations are likely to
support extra taxes on unhealthy foods.
