Around 6.5 million Dutch people are overweight, according to figures released on Tuesday by the central statistics office CBS.

This is more than 40% of the population. The figure includes 1.5 million who are classified as obese, says the CBS.
Thirty years ago, just over a quarter of Dutch adults were too fat. Now twice as many people over the age of 20 are overweight or obese.
For children the number has also grown. Around 11% are overweight or obese, compared with 4% in the early 1980s, says the CBS.
Adults are considered overweight if their body mass index (BMI) is higher than 25.
