Title: So Europeans are skinny? Guess again.

Half of Europe's adults overweight or obese: report
By Kate Kelland

LONDON | Tue Dec 7, 2010 7:33am EST
(Reuters) - More than half of adults in European Union are overweight or obese, piling pressure onto their own health, their nations' health systems and the wider economy, the OECD and the EU Commission said on Tuesday.

In a report on health in the 27-member bloc, the Paris-based Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the Brussels-based Commission said the rate of obesity has more than doubled over the past 20 years in most member states.

It also found that one in seven EU children is overweight or obese, and said the figures are set to rise even further.

"This has considerable implications for costs of healthcare," it said, citing a recent study on England which forecast that total costs linked to overweight and obesity could increase by as much as 70 percent between 2007 and 2015.

"Children who are obese or overweight are more likely to suffer from poor health later in life, with a greater risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, some forms of cancer, arthritis, asthma, a reduced quality of life and even premature death," the "Health at a Glance: Europe 2010" report said.

Overweight people have a body mass index (BMI) of between 25 and 30 and obese people have a BMI of 30 or more, according to the World Health Organization. BMI is calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by height in meters squared.

Over half the EU adult population, or 50.1 percent is now overweight or obese.

Looking at health spending, the report found that this had risen in all EU member states in the past decade, often increasing at a faster rate than economic growth. In 2008, EU states spent on average 8.3 percent of their gross domestic product (GDP) on health, up from 7.3 percent in 1998.

LIFE EXPECTANCY

Meanwhile, better living conditions and medical progress have allowed life expectancy at birth in the EU to increase by 6 years between 1980 to 2007, from an average of 72 years in 1980 to 78 years in 2007.

"Improvements in living and working conditions and in some health-related behaviors have contributed greatly to these longevity gains, but progress in medical care also deserves much credit," the report said.

The report described a wide range of obesity rates across the EU, from less than 10 percent in Romania and Italy to more than 20 percent in the UK, Ireland and Malta. On average, just over 15 percent of the EU adult population is obese.

Commenting on the report, Europe's Commissioner for health and consumer policy John Dalli said it would serve as a useful tool for governments to see where the major problems are.

"In order to reverse the growing trend in obesity and other health problems in the EU we need reliable and up-to-date data to underpin the action we take," he said in a statement.

The report found that several factors -- including lower rates of smoking and less heavy drinking in some countries -- had led to a decline in deaths from heart disease, it is still the biggest cause of death in the EU, accounting for 40 percent of all deaths in Europe in 2008.

The second leading cause of death in the EU is cancer, which accounted for 26 percent of deaths in 2008. The highest number of cancer deaths was reported in Denmark, followed by Hungary, Poland, the Czech and Slovak Republics and Slovenia. The lowest numbers of cancer deaths were in Cyprus, Finland and Sweden.

It is rare to see a 400lb person in the UK. I reckon I have seen 2 in my life and one was Glenn Ross.

In America I am sure 1 in every 200 people are this size.

Why do people continue to compare an entire continent to the US? We're not one country, don't speak the same language, have different cultures, some would love to go to war with a neighboring country, some countries are rich, others are piss poor.

BUT even if you take Europe as a whole, you will see that one average people over here are definitely less fat than in the States. It is what it is.

Last time I was over, it seemed like everyone in England was about 250 and doughy. I think I saw, maybe 2 people, who looked 'fit,' - no one was Getbig ripped. In the US, there are many more people who look 'fit' but also way more people who are obese, and visit any Wal-Mart and you'll see scooter-fat people.

Overweight and obese are 2 different things.
You can be 5-10 lbs over your BMI and considered overweight.

Go to ANY buffet or cheap restaurant and you will 100% see people over 350lbs...OBESE

Ask any people outside of USA and they will tell you the amount of fat fucks in this country is insane.
There are fat people everywhere but not on the same level as here.

I don't understand this as they all vacation down south. I know it's the "poor" region of the country, but when I was in Calabria, the women were unreal and many of the resorts were exceptionally beautiful. Maybe I lucked out, ha-ha.

I wanted to experience Italy in it's most raw form.

Overweight people have a body mass index (BMI) of between 25 and 30 and obese people have a BMI of 30 or more, according to the World Health Organization. BMI is calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by height in meters squared.

And these limits are the same for women and men. A healthy young man can easily be 25 BMI "by accident", but woman can't. I don't know if the health officials are just dumb as bricks or is this just a conspiracy against men, trying to make them feel guilty of their inherit biology.

I think anytime a person talks about the hotness of a certain country, then they should insert the amount of money they make. I believe body88 makes a large living in the States. In the 2-5% catagory. So he is going to hang with people with take care of themselves and have access to plastic surgery. There isn't daily visits to McDonalds and Walmart for him. So his take on what country is the hottest just may be that of someone who doesn't really get out into the real world.

No offense. Just my opinion

Most people here over 25 are overweight, not many over 300lbs though

Serious question, how can you tell if an Irish person is mentally handicapped or not?  I think there has been a lot of inbreeding over the years especially within the Catholic and Gypsie communities.
And how can you tell if an oriental has Downs or not? He could just be an overweight oriental.
And do you get Negro Downs sufferers? Seriously. I have only ever seen white ones. Mainly in Ireland when I lived in the Portloise area.

Thing is, 90% of them are Blacks. I don't think I have seen an in shape black woman over the age of 18 ever. They are all fat load monsters who do nothing but waddle around and talk loudly on their cellphones.

Hey, we go to the one at the west end of 192 AND the one at the other end of the 192 towards Gaterville !!!!
Both are as bad when it comes to chubby built patrons.

I must admit, there were a few people in California when I was based in the San Diego area who were not too obese. New York too.

Serious question, how can you tell if an Irish person is mentally handicapped or not?  I think there has been a lot of inbreeding over the years especially within the Catholic and Gypsie communities.
And how can you tell if an oriental has Downs or not? He could just be an overweight oriental.
And do you get Negro Downs sufferers? Seriously. I have only ever seen white ones. Mainly in Ireland when I lived in the Portloise area.





Most Irish have some degree of mental illness and learning difficulty, I mean fuck if someone like me can be successful in business in this country its not sayin much for the others

You familiar with Hunterston in Ayrshire?   ???

Thats where our Nuclear power station is. Not a lot of people in that area but wouldn't be surprised if these were a few mutants due to the radiation. I spend a fair bit of time in Largs which is just above Hunterston. There is a great big ice cream restaurant called Nardinis in Largs. It's been there for 90 years. There is always an unusually large amount of Downs sufferers visiting Nardinis. Wonder if the Nuclear plant is to blame  ??? ???

Aye, there seemed to be one person in every hundered who was on the ball and the other 99 were simple. I lived there in the late 90's (Portloise) and there didn't seem to be any rules or police control (pubs open all night etc). Things were really booming for a while but it looks like the bubble has well and truely burst in Ireland.  I was reading yesterday that the Irish National Bank  which is getting bailed out with Billions of funding from Europe and the UK to stop it crashing is awarding it's staff and directors bonuses of $50 million for last year's performance ???.

It used to be that people had to work really hard (physically) to get a little bit of food. Nowadays people sit on their ass all day and make enough money to feed a small village in Africa.

Fattest guy in the old office was a Brit. He was pushing 400lbs at around 5'11" - 6'0". Dude had bad BO, and tossed his trash on the floor. Pissed off the cleaning staff to no end. He was known around the office as 'The Fat, Lazy Pig'. One day he came out of the bathroom and still had shit on the back of his pants. The girls in the office had a field day with that one.

White women in the United States were significantly more likely than those in Canada to be obese: 30.3% versus 24.8%  However, the percentages of White American and Canadian men who were obese did not differ.

They always use the same language when reporting here.....lump overweight and obese together and using the BMR as a guide, which is garbage.  Just because of bodyweight, almost every IFBB pro would be put into the "obese " category......LOL


And to be honest, I can't remember the last time I saw someone as short as you...... ;D

Congenital disorders are high in the Gypsie communities.

In Ireland though traditionally there has been high 'anti-abortion' sentiment. I think to a degree this would contribute to why there may be more people with Down's syndrome in Ireland. I am only 24 but people with mental and physical handicaps have never been hidden away in my lifetime. Rightly so.

I don't understand this as they all vacation down south. I know it's the "poor" region of the country, but when I was in Calabria, the women were unreal and many of the resorts were exceptionally beautiful. Maybe I lucked out, ha-ha.

I wanted to experience Italy in it's most raw form.

thanks bro i know where im heading soon

It's the food.  Part of the original package that the EU needed the U.S to sign off on to form was that Europe would open its food imports more to American companies.  This meant that the poison they've been selling to American's since the late 70s could now be sold to the Europeans.  The results are the same except that Europe is about a decade behind in obesity gains.

It

Food!

 It's kind of a broad generalization to say "Europeans" are something or other.

 Each country in Europe is extremely different.

 It's kinda of like when people lump "Asians" all together, or "Africans".

 Hello dipshit. There are different countries in these places. And they are all very different.
