How many people are overweight or obese in England?
Levels of obesity are rising as it becomes more and more widespread, increasing the risk of a range of diseases that can contribute to significant health risks and a costly debilitating lifestyle. In the UK almost a quarter of adults and almost a sixth of children under the age of 11 are obese.
A government paper The Foresight Report, Tackling Obesities: Future Choices project, published in October 2007 predicted that if no action is taken, by 2050 we could face an obesity epidemic with 60% of men, 50% of women and 25% of children being obese. Obesity is responsible for 9000 premature deaths each year in England and reduces life expectancy by an average of 9 years.
The latest (HSE) Health Survey for England shows that in 2008, 61.4% of adults (aged 16 or over), and 27.3% of children (aged 2-10) in England were overweight or obese. Within these figures it was found that 24.5% of adults and 13.9% of children were obese.
As well as the cost to the economy and to the already financially stretched NHS there are also the psychological and social consequences. Obese people can encounter prejudice, rejection and discrimination which can lead to depression and low self esteem. More recent research shows that the credit crunch can actually lead to an increased risk of being overweight. Debt and financial worries can contribute to bad eating habits such as comfort eating and emotional eating.
How are we doing in Gloucestershire?
Research by the University of Gloucestershire shows that half of the adult population in the county do no sport or exercise, leading to risks of not only developing obesity but some of the many other related health conditions.
The cost to society
Given the impact on individual health, obese and overweight individuals also place a significant burden on the NHS. Direct costs are estimated to be £4.2 billion and Foresight have forcasted that this will more than double by 2050 if we continue as we are. But there are also costs to society and the economy more broadly – for example, sickness absence reduces productivity.
Cheryl lost over a stone without dieting! – read what she has to say...
"Well well well a miracle has happened, I have tried every diet available to mankind without permanent success. After climbing onto the scales and weighing heavier than ever, along with having my wedding blessed next year I decided it was time to do something about my size once and for all.
I got into work one morning where there was a buzz around the office and general chit chat about this advertisement a colleague had come across in the Citizen. We all stood around whilst she read word for word the wonders of the "hypno-band" I was intrigued although very sceptical about what was being said, but thought there's an idea. After discussing this with my husband I decided to give it a go and made contact with Clare.
After my first session I sat in the garden and fancied a bar a chocolate, I took 2 bites and then walked back into the kitchen wrapped it up and put in the fridge. I didn't even realise what I had done and this was something that I would never have done…. Before I would have eaten the whole bar and maybe another…I lost 5lbs that week. On my 3rd session with Clare and whilst in deep relaxation I felt my stomach tighten and couldn't believe what was happening. I was so shocked that when I got outside I rang everyone I knew and told them of the experience I had felt. It is now 6 weeks and I have lost 1stone and 1lb…I eat anything I want and not a thought about dieting. This is the best thing I have ever done and thanks to Clare I am in control of my weight. I am looking forward to seeing Clare again soon and would recommend this to anyone who has a problem controlling their weight……..just BRILLIANT!!!!"

"I feel so confident, I’ve lost 8lbs and I didn’t even consult for weight loss! I would never have worn purple before - I always wore black. I have even asked a guy out that I fancied!"
