C A new report says there are now more obese people in the world than there are underweight people. Researchers from Imperial College London wrote the report. The researchers examined health records from about 20 million people for what they called the “world’s biggest obesity study.” For the study, the researchers compared the body measurements of almost 20 million adults. They found that from 1975 to 2014, global obesity rates for men increased from 3.2 percent of the population to 10.8 percent. For women, it rose from 6.4 percent to 14.9 percent. The study found that more than 2.3 percent of men and 5 percent of women are considered severely obese. A severely obese individual has a body mass index (or BMI) of over 35 kilograms per square meter. BMI is a way to measure a person’s height compared to their weight. The study also found that about 1 percent of men and 2 percent of women are considered “morbidly (病态地) obese.” Such people have difficulty with simple activities because they are overweight. The researchers say there are now 55 million morbidly obese adults worldwide. Majid Ezzati is the chief writer of the report. He writes that “the number of people across the globe whose weight poses a serious threat to their health is greater than ever before. He adds that this epidemic (流行病) of severe obesity is too extensive to be dealt with just medications. He says coordinated global initiatives are needed to tackle this crisis. These initiatives include looking at the “price of healthy food compared to unhealthy food, or taxing high sugar and highly-processed foods (深加工食品).” The researchers warn if the problem of obesity worsens, 18 percent of men and 21 percent of women will be obese by 2025. （本文出处：VOA April 11, 2016）（略有改动） (1) Which kind of people are considered to suffer from morbidly obese?
