Being overweight or obese is linked to many health problems, including heart disease, type-2 diabetes, osteoarthritis and high blood pressure. Around 2 in 3 adult men, and 1 in 2 adult women, are overweight or obese in the UK. That figure is rising. Obesity is responsible for 18 million sick days and 30,000 deaths each year in the UK.
