Abstract
Background: Obesity has emerged as a pressing global health concern, with escalating prevalence rates.
Objective: To assess the global prevalence, regional disparities, and associated healthcare implications of obesity.
Methods: A comprehensive review of epidemiological data was conducted, focusing on regional patterns and demographic variations.
Results:
- Over 1.6 billion individuals surpass their ideal weight, with over 500 million categorized as obese.
- Surprisingly high obesity rates are observed in historically undernourished regions, including Ibero-American countries, East Middle regions, Oceania, China, Australasia, Vietnam, and the Pacific Islands.
- Africa and Asia exhibit notable obesity prevalences.
- Obesity is implicated in over 300,000 annual deaths and incurs substantial healthcare costs.
Conclusion: Obesity's pervasive presence underscores the urgent need for targeted interventions and policy measures to address its multifaceted challenges.
