People are classed as obese if they have a body mass index over 30. They are overweight if it is 25-30
Adult obesity rates have almost quadrupled in the last 25 years. Now 22% of Britons are obese and three-quarters are overweight
The number of obese children has tripled in 20 years. 10% of six year olds are obese, rising to 17% of 15 year olds
Obesity can lead to health problems, including arthritis, heart disease and diabetes
