Tackling obesity in the UK »Tackling obesity in the UKTackling obesity in the UK☜With concern growing that the Foresight analysis—that 50% of the UK population could be obese by 2050, at an annual cost to the nation of around £50 billion per year [2]—substantially underestimates the scale of the unfolding obesity crisis, the College of Contemporary Health is working with the wider policy community to develop a whole systems map of the obesity crisis and the potential responses.☜F1CEB7

Impacts of obesity »Impacts of obesityImpacts of obesity☜Obesity presents a significant threat to the health of the UK population and a significant drain on the nations financial resources. 24.9% of adults in England are obese—with a body mass index of over 30—62% of adults are either overweight or obese (with a BMI of over 25), and 32% of 10–11-year-olds are overweight or obese. The annual cost of obesity to the UK is estimated to be £27bn–£46bn [1], [2]; although international comparisons suggest that the true cost could be significantly higher.☜DE7179

Auszug -

Life expectancy at birth in the UK has changed over time. It has consistently increased, from 70.8 years for males and 76.8 years for females in 1980-1982 to 78.9 years for males and to 82.7 years in 2011-2013. These are increases of about 6.3 hours per day for males and 4.6 hours per day for females.

Women continue to live longer than men, but the gap has been closing. Although both sexes have shown annual improvements in life expectancy at birth, over the past 31 years the gap has narrowed from 6.0 years to 3.8 years, with males demonstrating faster improvements in mortality compared to females.
