The latest Fitness First Magazine (Nov 2010, p. 127) reports that 60% of adults in Queensland are overweight or obese (i.e. with a Body Mass Index of 25 or over), based on new research conducted by Galaxy Research.  The full results were:

• Qld:    60% overweight or obese
• WA:    59%
• SA:      58%
• NSW:  55%
• Vic:     44%
• Tas:    44%
