Erin go bloat.
Obesity rates among Irishmen have tripled in just 20 years, creating a health timebomb, a new report warns.Time for a kinder, gentler potato famine?
The research shows that more than a quarter (26pc) of men are now obese, compared with just 8pc in 1990.
Female waistlines have also dramatically expanded, with 21pc of Irishwomen now classed as obese, up from 13pc two decades ago.
Overall, three out of every five adults are now overweight or obese -- yet many women, in particular, are low in several key vitamins and minerals.
These alarming statistics were revealed in a study of 1,500 adults who allowed researchers from the Irish Universities' Nutrition Alliance at UCD and UCC into their homes. They offered up food diaries, blood-pressure tests and insights into their lifestyle habits.
