"At the start of the 1980s, the average 5ft 3in British woman weighed 10 stone (63.5kg), but by 2008 that had grown to 11st 2lb (70.6kg).
"Only Malta and Israel - which was classified as Western Europe for the purposes of the report, published online today in The Lancet - now have fatter women.
"The global study compared the average body mass indices (BMIs) of men and women in 199 countries."
