Overweight and obesity have been associated with physiological and psychological ill health and a number of links have been demonstrated for cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cancers, polycystic ovary syndrome and depression to name but a few. During the 2020 Covid-19 crisis there have also been emerging links between obesity and the risk and severity of the infection. Personal costs of overweight and obesity, but also costs to the health and wider economy are substantial and growing on an annual basis.
