Theme: тАЬ8 Billion Reasons to Act on ObesityтАЭ
Obesity is a complex, chronic disease and a growing global public health challenge.
ЁЯЪ╕ Childhood obesity is rising rapidly.
Among school-aged children, the prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased from 4% in 1975 to nearly 20% in 2022. The burden is increasing fastest in low- and middle-income countries, where healthcare resources are often limited.
Early awareness, healthy nutrition, and active lifestyles are essential to protect the health of our children.
