We can say that today in France, only one adult in two can be considered healthy weight and according to the French national statistics obesity is being developed in a truly disturbing.
Based on the diagrams and figures presented by Dr. Marie-Aline Charles it, epidemiologist with the nutritionist of Inserm Arnaud Basdevant the results of the national damage dizzy. In 2009 32% of the adult population or 14 million people is overweight and of these, 14.5%, ie 6.5 million people, is considered obese.
From '97 to now we have gone from a rate of 8.5% of the obese to 14.5%. In short, every year that passes increases the percentage of obese regularly without sparing any age group. Indeed one can say that, from generation to generation, obesity appears increasingly early in the course of life and is becoming increasingly important.
The frequency of severe obesity that correspond to the so-called group of the population most at risk have moved from one doctor, 5 to 3%, 9%. Basically in twelve years on average every Frenchman is fattened by about 3.1 kg and her belly has grown by about 4.7 cm!
