Key points:
New Modelling predicts one in three adults will be classified as obese by 2025
Young adults gaining more weight than they were in previous generations
Women will fare worse, with one in six predicted to be severely obese
The University of Sydney's School of Public Health's new model has predicted how bad the obesity epidemic is expected to get in the next 10 years.
It forecasts obesity among adults will reach 35 per cent by 2025, up from its current level of 28 per cent, while 13 per cent of adults will have a BMI of over 35 — up from 9 per cent in 2014/15.
