The paper deals with the latest research achievements from the turn of the century. Since the growth of excess body weight rate has defined as an epidemic [1], the authors discuss obesity methodology issues and diagnostic problems in different cultures. Apart from cognitive tasks, they concentrate on finding evidences for the thesis about the epidemic obesity spread. Additionally they put forward the importance of taking preventive and therapeutic precautions to halt this dynamic spread. In aim to determine the scale of the epidemic, they consider key methodology aspects of screening research and give the description of some obesity etiology aspects.
