    Overweight and obesity

    In the UK and many other developed countries, overweight


    and obesity rates in adults and children have been
    increasing over the years.

    According to Statistics on Obesity, Physical Activity and Diet


    published in 2018, 57% of adult women and 66% of adult
    men are overweight or obese.

    It is important to lead an active lifestyle and make healthier


    food choices.

    Over nutrition

    Over nutrition is a problem usually associated with developed


    countries, such as the UK.

    The most common form of over nutrition is having an energy


    intake in excess of needs, resulting in overweight and obesity.

    Very high intakes of minerals and fat soluble vitamins (more


    can usually be obtained from food sources alone) can be
    toxic. This is because they are stored in the body, e.g.
    vitamin A is stored in the liver.

    Obesity

    People who are obese are more likely to suffer from:

    • coronary heart disease;


    • type 2 diabetes;
    • gall stones;
    • arthritis;
    • high blood pressure;
    • some types of cancers, i.e. colon, breast, kidney and stomach.

    Body mass index (BMI)

    Body Mass Index (BMI) can be used to


    identify if an adult is a correct weight for Recommended BMI range (adults)
    height.
    Less than 18.5 Underweight
    BMI can be calculated as follows: 18.5 to 25 Desirable or healthy
    range
    25-30 Overweight
    30-35 Obese (Class I)
    BMI = weight (kg) 35-40 Obese (Class II)
    (height in m)2 Over 40 Morbidly or severely
    obese (Class III)

    Energy balance

    To maintain body weight it is necessary to balance energy


    intake (from food and drink) with energy expenditure (from
    activity).

    This is called energy balance.

    When energy intake is higher than energy output, over time this
    will lead to weight gain (positive energy balance).

    When energy intake is lower than energy output, over time this
    will lead to weight loss (negative energy balance).

    Positive energy balance
    A person is said to be in positive energy balance when the
    diet provides more energy than is needed to meet energy
    demands of the body. Energy is stored as fat and the
    person puts on weight over time. Energy
    out:
    activity
    Energy in:
    People who achieve a positive energy balance over an food and
    extended period of time are likely to become overweight drinks

    or obese. Energy in > Energy out = Weight gain

    Being overweight or obese is associated with an increased


    risk of developing certain cancers, cardiovascular disease
    and type 2 diabetes.

    Negative energy balance

    A person is said to be in negative energy balance when


    there is insufficient energy from the diet to meet energy
    demands of the body. Energy is derived from energy Energy
    stores and the person loses weight. Energy
    out:
    activity
    in: food
    and
    People who achieve a negative energy balance over an drinks
    extended period of time are likely to become Energy out > Energy in = Weight loss
    underweight.

    Being underweight is associated with health problems,


    such as osteoporosis (low bone mass), infertility
    (difficulty to conceive) and even heart failure.

    Energy balance

    Energy balance can be maintained by:

    • regulating energy intake through the diet;

    • adjusting physical activity levels;

    • a combination of both.
