Learn More »1. Obesity rates are low in Italy, relative to most OECD countries, but are very high among children. About 1 in 10 people is obese in Italy, significantly less than the OECD average of 1 in 6. More than 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women are overweight. OECD projections indicate that overweight rates will increase by a further 5% within ten years. In Italy, 1 in 3 children is overweight, one of the highests rate in the OECD. Past and projected overweight rates Underlying data and charts for all the graphics below are also available in Excel 2. Large socio-economic disparities in obesity exist, both in men and women. Women with poor education in Italy are 3 times more likely to be overweight than more educated women. Disparitiesare smaller in men, but still higher than in many other OECD countries. Poorly educated men are 1.3 times more likely to be overweight than more educated ones. Relative Index of Inequality in Overweight by Education level 3. Individual prevention programmes could avoid up to 50 000 deaths from chronic diseases every year. Deaths avoided could increase to 75 000 if different interventions were combined in a comprehensive prevention strategy. An organised programme of counselling of obese people by their family doctors would also lead to an annual gain of over 70 000 years of life in good health. Health Outcomes at the Population Level (Average Effect per Year) 4. How much does prevention cost? How much does it save? Most prevention programmes would cost less than EUR 100 m every year, with individual counselling by family doctors costing up to EUR 580 m. Most prevention programmes will cut health expenditures for chronic diseases, but only by a relatively small margin (up to EUR 72 m per year). Economic Assessment of the Interventions at the Population Level (Average Effect per Year) 5. Is prevention cost-effective? Prevention can improve health at a lower cost than many treatments offered today by OECD health systems. In Italy, almost all of the prevention programmes examined will be cost-effective in the long run – relative to internationally accepted standards corresponding to around EUR 35 000 per year of life gained in good health. However, some programmes will take a longer time to produce their health effects and therefore will be less cost-effective in the short run.

PocketMap, we also ate lots of pasta and pizza and bread and gelato while in Italy, but we walked so much that we actually lost weight !! Now, coming home would be a different story !! I still want to eat all that yummy food but I don't walk like I did in Italy, so the pounds went back on !! I think it may be a genetic thing too with the Italian people,depending on what their actual ancestry would be. You will notice while you are there though that a lot of middle-aged and older Italian people are not so thin anymore. I think it has to be a gene thing !! Of course, I am sure that a lot of them also walk a lot and a lot of them work really hard.
