This volume is estimated future costs of obesity and overweight.
This report has been produced by the UK Government’s Foresight Programme. The views are not the official point of view of any organisation or individual, are independent of Government and do not constitute Government policy.
This edition includes a revised figure for the estimated future costs of obesity and overweight.
This issue presents the key messages and implications for the UK. These are based on an extensive analysis of a wide range of evidence, including several commissioned evidence reviews, a systems analysis of the primary determinants of obesity, scenarios of possible futures and a quantitative model of future trends in obesity and associated diseases.
