This report critically evaluated the epidemiology of obesity in adults. Epidemiology has been identified as an essential science in public health that enhances the strategies used to identify and map emerging diseases. The epidemiology of adult obesity is measured according to the rate of incidence, prevalence and mortality in a certain population through a number of variables including person, place and time. However, the incidence and prevalence of adult obesity have been discussed globally, nationally and regionally identifying places of increased incidence and prevalence in graphs, bar charts and tables. Significantly, public health practice has been indicated to underpin epidemiology studies which are useful to inform practice by providing different levels of intervention to curb adult obesity.
