Studies suggest that over recent years the incidence of obesity the Czech Republic has risen continuously. A 2010 research paper found that 23% of the adult Czech population was obese and 34% overweight. The World Health Organisation (WHO) predicts that by 2025 two-thirds of adults in the Czech Republic (67%) will be either overweight or obese, up from 61% in 2015.2 This makes the projected Czech rate the joint 14th-highest among the 53 European countries examined by the WHO, highlighting the pan-European obesity epidemic identified in a recent report from The Economist Intelligence Unit on confronting obesity in Europe.
