Surveys in the United Kingdom and the United States suggest that the rate of increase in obesity is slowing. Even so, the prevalence of obesity in US adults is set to grow from around 32% in 2007-08 to 50% in 2030 for men, and from 35% to 45% for women. The projections were published on 27 August (Y. C. Wang et al. Lancet 378,815-825; 2011). The study also estimates that by 2030, the annual cost of treating obesity-related diseases in the United States will have risen by US$48 billion-66 billion.
