Description

Excess weight and obesity represent a rapidly growing threat to the health of populations in an increasing number of countries. This report records the conclusions and recommendations of a major WHO consultation convened to consider the global epidemic of obesity, assess the magnitude of associated public health problems, and map out strategies for prevention and control. Interventions at both the population level and in individual patients are described in detail. Reflecting the consensus reached by over 30 experts, the report also looks at the causes and costs of obesity - in developing as well as industrialized countries, and in children as well as adults - and presents a coherent system, based on the Body Mass Index, for assessing and classifying excess weight and obesity.
