AB  - By 2008, an estimated 1.46 billion adults globally were overweight (body mass index [BMI] =25 kg/m2) and 502 million adults were obese (BMI =30 kg/m2) [Finucane MM et al. Lancet 2011]. Furthermore, an estimated 170 million children (aged <18 years) globally were classified as overweight or obese; this estimate includes more than 25% of all children in some countries, more than double the proportions since the start of the epidemic [Lobstein T et al. Obes Rev 2004].
