A new VicHealth report forecasts that by 2025, some 83% of male Australians and 75% of women will be overweight or obese. The document also contains data from a study performed by the Baker IDI Heart & Diabetes Institute, on levels of "self care disability". The research indicates that difficulties in old age with dressing or cleaning oneself will be experienced by 27% of those who had a healthy weight in middle age. For obese people however the ratio increases to 57%
