Obesity is a global public health problem. According to Phil. Assoc. for the Study of Overweight and Obesity, the World Health Organization (WHO) has predicted that there will be 2.3 billion overweight adults worldwide by 2015 and more than 700 million of them will be obese. Furthermore, WHO warns that the greater future burden of obesity and diabetes will affect developing countries including the Philippines and the projected number of cases of diabetes run into hundreds of millions within the two decades.
In 1998, using the non-adjusted BMI guidelines for Asians, the WHO Global Database on BMI reports overweight and obesity in the Philippines at 23.5%, with the female adults having higher obesity prevalance rates than male adults. In 2003, the Philippines National Nutritional Health Evaluation and Survey showed that there are 19.6% overweight and 4.9% obese Filipinos.
