In a world where overweight and obesity are on the rise the concern is not only massive for those affected. In many countries as much as 20% of total healthcare spending is used for obesity-related problems.Explaining the numbers related to why a third of the world's population is overweight and more than a third of overweight adults are obese, Patrick Wulf Hanson launches his book – "Obesity Causes and Consequences". The book covers the epidemiology related to obesity, including its worldwide distribution, and presents a "thorough, methodological and comprehensive but at the same time condensed and summarized overview of the pathophysiology, epidemiology and obesity-associated conditions and complications."
