摘要

In the days when most people did not have enough to eat, being plump marked you out as wealthy enough to guzzle your fill. But wealthy probably did not mean healthy even then, and today obesity is seen as a problem mainly because a wide girth is closely linked with high blood pressure, high blood-sugar levels and an excess of cholesterol and fats in the blood. Scientists group these factors together under the heading of metabolic syndrome, which raises the risk of diabetes, heart disease and other ailments. Rising obesity rates pose a challenge not just for the individuals affected but for governments that help pay for their health care.
