One out of four obese people fail to see a problem

DESPITE Ireland's growing obesity epidemic, an increasing number of people
are failing to recognise that they are overweight.

New research has shown that while Ireland and nearby nations like the UK
are witnessing rising levels of obesity, growing numbers of those people
with weight problems are ignoring the reality of their situation.

According to the figures, detailed in the latest edition of the British
Medical Journal, more and more people are now failing to recognise when
they become overweight.

And while the researchers say that the 'clinically obese' category of
weight problems has almost doubled since 1999, one out of every four of
these same individuals did not believe they were suffering from severe
weight gain.

According to the research findings, based on interviews and studies of
individuals across Ireland and the UK between 1999 and 2007, since the
turn of the century the number of people who can officially be placed in
the 'clinically obese' category has almost doubled in just eight years --
from 11pc to 19pc.

But shockingly, despite an increasing number of people clearly losing the
battle with the bulge -- and potentially cutting years off their life as a
result -- a growing number of these individuals do not accept that they
are overweight.

In each survey, participants were asked to give their height and weight --
from which their body mass index (BMI) and clinical weight category could
be determined -- and also categorise themselves as either: very
underweight, underweight, about right, overweight or very overweight.

The study findings based on this information show that in 1999, 43pc of
the populations of Ireland and the UK had a BMI that meant they could be
officially classed in the overweight or obese categories, with 81pc of
these individuals accepting that they had a weight problem.

Problem

But at the end of the 2007 study, despite the number of people with a high
BMI growing to 53pc, just 75pc of the number of overweight people could
correctly identify their problem.

Concluding that the new figures indicate that mild weight problems are now
becoming an accepted and "normal" sight in both societies, the researchers
behind the study based at the Health Behaviour Research Centre at
University College London said there is now a growing obesity epidemic
across both countries.

And the researchers warned that these weight problems could have dire
implications for the future health of Irish people.

Who says it is an epidemic? Health officials, who get money for
epidemics! Doctors WANT you to be sick, so you see them more, so they can
overcharge your medical insurance, so they can give you pills that make
the drug companies a lot of money. Epidemics are big business...

"Soon to be the minority"? With a full 60 - 65% of the US population
overwieght, we thin people are the minority. Unfortunatly too many of
the minority lack the manners and common sense that are fitting for
people in their position.

DESPITE Ireland's growing obesity epidemic, an increasing number
of
people
are failing to recognise that they are overweight.

New research has shown that while Ireland and nearby nations
like the
UK
are witnessing rising levels of obesity, growing numbers of those
people
with weight problems are ignoring the reality of their situation.

According to the figures, detailed in the latest edition of the
British
Medical Journal, more and more people are now failing to
recognise
when
they become overweight.

And while the researchers say that the 'clinically obese'
category of
weight problems has almost doubled since 1999, one out of every
four
of
these same individuals did not believe they were suffering from
severe
weight gain.

According to the research findings, based on interviews and
studies
of
individuals across Ireland and the UK between 1999 and 2007,
since
the
turn of the century the number of people who can officially be
placed
in
the 'clinically obese' category has almost doubled in just eight
years
--
from 11pc to 19pc.

But shockingly, despite an increasing number of people clearly
losing
the
battle with the bulge -- and potentially cutting years off their
life
as a
result -- a growing number of these individuals do not accept
that
they
are overweight.

In each survey, participants were asked to give their height and
weight --
from which their body mass index (BMI) and clinical weight
category
could
be determined -- and also categorise themselves as either: very
underweight, underweight, about right, overweight or very
overweight.

The study findings based on this information show that in 1999,
43pc
of
the populations of Ireland and the UK had a BMI that meant they
could
be
officially classed in the overweight or obese categories, with
81pc
of
these individuals accepting that they had a weight problem.

Problem

But at the end of the 2007 study, despite the number of people
with a
high
BMI growing to 53pc, just 75pc of the number of overweight people
could
correctly identify their problem.

Concluding that the new figures indicate that mild weight
problems are
now
becoming an accepted and "normal" sight in both societies, the
researchers
behind the study based at the Health Behaviour Research Centre at
University College London said there is now a growing obesity
epidemic
across both countries.

And the researchers warned that these weight problems could have
dire
implications for the future health of Irish people.
