BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) - The proportion of overweight or obese men is higher
in
some European countries than it is in the United States, experts said Tuesday
in a major analysis of Europeans' expanding girth.
The International Obesity Task Force estimated that Finland, Germany, Greece,
Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Malta have all now exceeded the
United
States' 67 per cent in overweight or obese males.
"The time when obesity was thought to be a problem on the other side of the
Atlantic has gone by," said Mars Di Bartolomeo, Luxembourg's minister of
health.
