AB Since  1980,  worldwide  obesity  has  more  than  doubled.  In  2008,  more  than  1.4  billion  adults,  age  20  and  older,  were  overweight.  Of  these,  over  200  million  men  and  nearly  300  million  women  were  obese.  Sixty-five  percent  of  the  world  population  resides  in  countries  where  overweight  and  obesity  kill  more  people  than  underweight.  In  2010,  more  than  40  million  children  under  the  age  of  5  were  overweight.1
