Switzerland is one of 73 countries where the number of obese people has more than doubled over the past 35 years. Today, almost 42% of the adult population is overweight, including 11% who are obese. Among children, around 15% are overweight/obese. The most frequently cited causes of obesity are junk food and a sedentary lifestyle. Other factors may also explain it, including one that seems to have been underestimated for the time being: endocrine disruptors.
