title: [Obesity in Denmark--why has it not gone so badly?].
abstract: In the Western world the number of obese people is increasing, but in Denmark the incidence is not on the same scale as in the USA. Although several factors may be of importance, Danes are more physically active and their intake of beverages with added sugar is less than in the American population.
