Believe in ‘healthy obesity’? Don’t kid yourself

"Half of Hong Kong’s population aged over 15 is obese or overweight, according to a health survey released by the government last year.

This puts us at greater risk of lifestyle diseases like diabetes and hypertension, and cardiovascular problems, including coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral artery disease and heart failure. Scientists have also established a link between obesity and cancer."
