TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the science base of the relationship between diet and physical activity patterns, and the major nutrition-related chronic diseases and made recommendations to help prevent death and disability from major nutrition related chronic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, several forms of cancer, osteoporosis and dental disease.

TL;DR: Data from the Obesity in Asia Collaboration, comprising 21 cross‐sectional studies in the Asia‐Pacific region with information on more than 263 000 individuals, indicate that measures of central obesity, in particular, waist circumference (WC), are better discriminators of prevalent diabetes and hypertension in Asians and Caucasians, and are more strongly associated with prevalent diabetes (but not hypertension), compared with body mass index (BMI).

TL;DR: The prevalence of overweight and obesity in Australian adults continued to rise during the 1990s and the obesogenic environment seems to have worsened and more recently born cohorts may be at increased risk of overweight.
