Letter Published in The National UAE on 20March 18Obesity is a global scourge that needs to be addressed

Please refer to your article New study challenges ‘healthy but obese’ theory (March 16). The European Heart Journal study and the mixed reactions in the profession about what it means to be healthy are fascinating. The fact remains that obese people are more likely to face cardiovascular disease. Obesity is a global challenge; we should all take care of ourselves to avoid it.
