Obesity puts pressure on hospitals
October 23, 2002
VICTORIA will need three new hospitals in the next 20 years if current obesity trends continue, Health Minister John Thwaites has warned.
Mr Thwaites, who will today launch a conference in Melbourne on obesity, said urgent action was needed to prevent it becoming the state's biggest health problem.
"Obesity is leading to increasing numbers of diabetes, heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure," he told ABC Radio.
"It is going to put an unmanageable strain on the health system unless we reduce the numbers of people who are becoming obese."
Some 61 per cent of all Victorian adults are considered overweight or obese, and the rate of obesity in children is climbing.

one couple living on $2,800 per month in sydney with $1800 of that spent on rent.
and the next wonderfull post of $6k a month,
as one person said you can if you wish live very cheaply.
it was only after being made redundent and clearing the mortgage, and no more huge csa payments that i realised we were probably living on about £600 a month in uk.
well im sure that me and the wife can earn $2000 a month beetween us, and hopfully live to the same standards at least.
all the best shaun and lor
by the way pb i shouldnt be too botherd about the obesity thing, im sure stress problems will be well in front if you dont get out of there soon lol good luck shaun
