Australian Women Obesity
Australian women have the fastest rising obesity rate and are tipping the scales as one of the heaviest nations on the planet.
For the first time Australian women are close to matching America’s obesity level prompting health experts to warn women over 30 years of age that they can no longer be complacent about gaining weight.
Institute of Obesity, Nutrition and Exercise director Professor Ian Caterson said efforts to combat women’s obesity had been overshadowed by efforts to combat childhood obesity.
“We are going to run out of health services for people. Obesity is the biggest driver of cancer in the world.”
