Globalisation and obesity in the Chinese context

The development path of adult obesity in China might be similar to those in USA and EU, which is that the obesity rate rises quickly. There have been research finding that in the past 20 years, the obesity rate of the Chinese males （BMI ≥ 28） has been quadrupled from 3% to 11%. The obesity rate of the females （BMI ≥ 28） has been doubled from 5% to 10%. A more worrying problem is the increase of the following abdominal obesity （defined by waistline）. The abdominal obesity of the males （waistline 〉1- 90cm） has been increased from 8% to 28%. The abdominal obesity of＂ the females （waistline ≥80cm） has been increased from 28% to 46%. Obesity could cause the rise of medical cost and loss in labour and education. Any energy imbalance resulting in weight increase of the different groups of people originates in diet and physical exercise. The Article also provides efficient intervention plan.
