Obesity is a disease and also a risk factor for other conditions. Rising global obesity levels are bringing associated increases inn on-communicable diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease and some cancers across the world.
Once considered a high-income country issue, obesity is agrowing challenge for many lower income countries. The number of overweightchildren under five in Africa has increased by nearly a quarter since 2000,while almost half of children who were overweight or living with obesity in 2019lived in Asia.
But in order to tackle obesity, we must first understand its causes. An overreliance on refined carbohydrates and other energy-dense, highly processed foods that are often the most affordable and available option for poor consumers, is contributing to the rapid rise observed in lower-income countries. Such energy-rich diets often lack other important nutrients, leading to the coexistence of obesity and malnutrition in the same individuals, which contribute to ill health.
