NHS figures show obesity-related hospital admissions have risen 15% in a year The number of people taken to hospital because of fat-related conditions shot up by 15 per cent last year.
More than 700,000 people seen in hospitals in England needed help for a problem which was either caused or made worse by the fact they were obese.
This was almost 100,000 more people than in 2017 and nine times as many as in 2008.
Women are almost twice as likely to end up in hospital because of their weight, and last year more fat women were hospitalised than people in total in 2014-15. The Daily Mail
