Overweight & Obesity in the EU27 § Austria § France § Malta § Belgium § Germany § Netherlands § Bulgaria § Greece § Poland § Cyprus § Hungary § Portugal § Czech Republic § Ireland § Romania § Denmark § Italy § Slovakia § England § Latvia § Slovenia § Estonia § Lithuania § Spain § Finland § Luxembourg § Sweden The estimates for overweight and obesity are based on the most recent appropriate age and gender specific data available. The population figures were derived from the UN POPIN database (http://www.un.org/popin/data.html) and age specific 2008 figures calculated. The data listing include both measured and self reported data. It is important to recognise that self reported data may underestimate obesity prevalence when compared to actual measured data by 2530% i . Where appropriate overweight & obesity data were unavailable (i.e. Slovenia & Luxembourg) a mean EU27 figure incorporating both measured and self reported data was used to extrapolate. When further data become available these figures will be adjusted. © International Association for the Study of Obesity, July 2008.
