The prevalence of obesity among those older than 16 years in Denmark increased from 5.5% in 1987 (250,000 people) to 9.5% in 2000 (400,000 people). The number of overweight people increased from 1.3 million to 1.7 million in the same period.
Obesity increases the risk of several diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, certain types of cancer and degenerative injuries from wear on the musculoskeletal system. Obesity reduces women’s fertility and increasing problem among children and youth. Most overweight teenagers remain overweight as adults. It is important that children develop healthy and regular dietary habits and derive pleasure from exercising. This can be achieved by creating health-promoting environments in children’s daily lives and by having the adults who spend time with children support and encourage them in developing good dietary and exercise habits.
