Obesity rates have reached "epidemic" proportions across Europe and are still rising, the World Health Organization (WHO) Office for the region said in a report published on Tuesday.
Nearly two thirds of adults, 59 per cent, and almost one in three children - 29 per cent of boys and 27 per cent of girls - is either overweight or obese, the study has revealed.
#Obesity is considered to be the cause of at least 13 types of #cancer. "To achieve our targets on beating cancer, we cannot delay taking action to address obesity," says WHO/Europe's @hans_kluge.
