    Abstract

    Rates of overweight and obesity have been increasing both in Ireland and internationally in recent decades. Two-thirds of men and over half of women in Ireland are overweight and around a fifth of both are now obese. Obesity is a well established risk factor for diabetes, heart disease, stroke and a number of cancers so the increasing obesity rate is a major health concern as well as a contributor to growing health costs in Ireland.
