OBESITY/DIABETES
There is a strong link between Obesity and Diabetes. Ireland’s population is becoming increasingly obese and this is leading to a rapid increase in the number of diabetic patients. Latest figures from 2010 show that more that 10% of adults over the age of 55 suffer from Diabetes. Also that 2.7%, or 41,000, aged over 45, have undiagnosed Diabetes. For more information click here.
