According to the World Health Organization, overweight and obesity are excessive fat accumulation that poses health risks. A BMI over 25 is considered overweight, and over 30 is obese.
In 2019, 5 million NCD deaths were linked to high BMI. Obesity rates are rising in both adults and children. From 1990 to 2022, obesity in children aged 5โ19 grew from 2% to 8%, while adult obesity more than doubled from 7% to 16%. Obesity now outweighs underweight in every region except South-East Asia, and middle-income countries are seeing some of the highest obesity rates worldwide.
