Abstract

The World Health Organization defines obesity as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that impairs health. Obesity is most commonly defined using body mass index (BMI). The percentage of obese women (BMI ≥30) in the United Kingdom has increased from 16.4% in 1993 to 23.8% in 2004. In the reproductive age group, a third of the women are overweight (BMI 25–30) and one in five are obese.
