What will happen in the future if we continue with this trend?
As indicated on the first graph to the right, and based on historical trends we are shown that by 2016, we could see 35.6% of boys and 31.7% of girls in NSW being overweight or obese unless action is taken.
The second graph on the right indicates that adults will increase from 59% of men and over 44% of women in 2007 to nearly 68% of men and over 54% of women in 2016.
We need to put on end to these trends because if we keep continuing them we will shorten our life expectancy and endanger our health severely.
