Being overweight or obese is generally classified around the world according to agreed criteria.
Doctors calculate your BMI or body mass index by looking at your weight and height.
For children, they also take into account your age and sex.
It's not a perfect system.
For example, BMI doesn't differentiate between muscle and fat, but it does give a broad indication of whether you are a healthy weight or not.
But the reality is that the reasons people become obese is often more complicated.
Dr Chiapetta says those causes can sometimes be traced back to early childhood.
My...
Dr. Chiapetta is very clear that blaming parents or their children for this obesity explosion is unfair and misunderstands the nature of obesity.
One of the biggest changes has been Italians eating processed and ultra-processed food.
While traditional Italian foods like salami or certain cheeses have always fallen into this category, the food industry has come up with a host of others, especially as people are spending less time preparing meals, particularly in households where both parents work.
It's a striking shift in the country that many associate with the so-called Mediterranean diet.
A diet which seems to mean something slightly different to almost everyone I spoke to.
And then there are the five P's.
Food words which, in Italian at least, all begin with the letter P and are blamed for people gaining weight.
A lot of us will eat at least some, if not all, of the five Ps every day.
Health experts say it's not about abandoning them altogether, just trying to moderate your intake.
But that's sometimes easier said than done.
When it comes to food, even though I'm from Rome, I have not seen anywhere in the world quite like Naples.
Temptations are everywhere.
