Obesity increases a person’s risk of cancer, heart disease and other diseases. About 2.6
billion people globally - 38% of the world population - are already overweight or obese. But on
current trends that is expected to rise to more titan 4 billion people (51%) in 12 years’ time,
according to research by the World Obesity Federation.
Obesity among children and young people is likely to increase faster than that among
adults. By 2035 it is expected to be at least double the rate seen in 2020 - it will rise by 100%
among boys under 18, but go up even more sharply, by 125%, among girls the same age.
Switzerland, Norway, Finland, Iceland and Sweden are among the best prepared countries
to deal with obesity while Niger, Nigeria, Somalia and Central African Republic are examples of
the world’s poorest countries that are the least prepared. Professor Louise Baur, the federation’s
president, says that the sharpest increases in obesity will be seen in low- and middle-income
countries where lack of preparedness and resources will create a perfect storm that will negatively
impact obese people the most.
The rising obesity globally is caused by factors such as climate change. Covid restrictions
(hạn chế) and chemical pollutants, as well as the promotion (quảng bá) of unhealthy foods. It is
suggested that governments should restrict the marketing of foods that are high in fat, salt or
sugar, and provide healthy food in schools.
