In 2015, the Global Burden for Disease Obesity Collaboration estimated that almost 603.7 million people globally were living with obesity; this equates to a global prevalence of around 12%.(1) Approximately two-thirds of the adult population in England are classified as overweight or obese.(2) Sex differences in the prevalence of overweight and obesity have been reported, with more women than men affected.(3) Obesity is known to have negative effects on the physical, mental and social health of the population and their economic productivity.(4) Public Health England have reported that, between 2014 and 2015, obesity cost the NHS approximately 6.1B pound in treating associated health conditions. During 2017 and 2018, NHS hospitals in England admitted 711,000 patients with a health condition associated directly or indirectly with obesity; this is a 15% increase from 2016 and 2017.(5,6) Some people who are obese may also experience stigmatisation, which can have a detrimental effect on their mental health, quality of life and well-being.(7,8)
