BOLTON is facing an obesity timebomb, with a shocking number of people tipping the scales and putting their health at serious risk.More public servants right on top of it.
About one in seven adults in the town are dangerously overweight, according to new figures from the charity Diabetes UK.
Of the almost 28,000 people classed as obese on GP registers, more than half have diabetes, which has serious health implications such as high blood pressure, heart and circulatory disease, risk of having a stroke, developing heart disease and suffering some forms of cancer.
Lesley Jones, NHS Bolton deputy director of public health, said: “Rising trends of obesity have been known for sometime and are very worrying.
Rest assured.
