And the numbers of children who are overweight is set to rise from 20 per cent to 25 per cent by 2008, according to Datamonitor forecasts.
Researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle used information provided by 73,003 adults aged 50 to 76 who lived in western Washington state.
They correlated obesity with 41 health conditions, including life-threatening conditions like heart failure; some, like high blood pressure, that increase the risk of more serious diseases; and health complaints that reduce the quality of life, like insomnia or chronic fatigue.
