Integrated Obesity Centre (CIO)
Obesity, too common in Belgium
In Belgium, it is estimated that:
- 34% of the adult population is overweight (BMI between 25.0 and 29.9)
- 14% of the adult population is obese (BMI ≥30).
These figures increase with age. Indeed, between the ages of 45 and 54, more than half of the adult population is already overweight.
Overweight and obesity are chronic health conditions associated with the development of other diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, etc.
