A comprehensive global medical study has revealed that the number of people living with obesity has surpassed one billion, including 159 million young people, marking a significant increase in obesity rates worldwide since 1990. This alarming rise has seen obesity rates more than double among adults and quadruple among youth over the past three decades, with the number having quadrupled since 1990. The study, published in The Lancet medical journal, highlights the growing prevalence of obesity as a major public health concern, linked to an increased risk of numerous serious health problems. The World Health Organization and an international group of researchers have updated these estimates, emphasizing the urgent need for global health interventions. The analysis also notes that obesity has now overtaken hunger as the leading form of malnutrition worldwide.
