Obesity
key findings
between 1975 and 2016, the prevalence of obesity has increased in every country across the globe
Our findings demonstrate that the economic impacts of obesity are substantial across countries, irrespective of economic or geographical context and will increase over time if current trends continue. These findings strongly point to the need for advocacy to increase awareness of the societal impacts of obesity, and for policy actions to address the systemic roots of obesity.
Our projections reveal an increasing trend in obesity costs as a percentage of GDP over time, estimated to reach 2.4% of GDP in Spain and up to 4.9% in Thailand in 2060.
Maintaining or reducing the prevalence of obesity can reduce the economic impacts of obesity in the future.

economic
Costs of obesity in 2019 ranged from US$17 in India to US$940 in Australia. These economic costs are comparable to 1.8% of gross domestic product (GDP) on average across the eight countries, ranging from 0.8% of GDP in India to 2.4% in Saudi Arabia. By 2060
Estimates of the economic impacts of obesity as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) range from 0.13% in Thailand (Pitayatienanan et al) to 9.3% in the USA (Milken Institute, 2018) with most estimates for high-income countries.

key findings
In 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults aged 18 years and older were overweight. Of these over 650 million adults were obese.
In 2016, 39% of adults aged 18 years and over (39% of men and 40% of women) were overweight.
Overall, about 13% of the world’s adult population (11% of men and 15% of women) were obese in 2016

key findings
Rapid reductions in physical activity in all domains of activity, from market-related work and home production (for example, water gathering, food preparation/cooking) to transportation and leisure in low- and middle-income countries in the last 15–35 years, and global access to labor-reducing technologies.
Rapid shifts in the built environment, which contributed both to reduced physical activity in many cases and to changes in the food environment.
The spread of modern food retailing and a rapidly changing food system. This has led to major shifts toward diets dominated by ultra-processed foods, and was linked to higher price increases for healthy foods than for unhealthy products
Shifts in eating patterns, which have led to increased snacking and away-from-home eating.
Pestle Factors
economical - Estimates from the United States range from US$89 billion to US$212 billion in total costs; those from China are estimated at 3.58 and 8.73 percent of gross national product (GNP) in 2020 and 2025, respectively; and Brazil projects a doubling of the obesity-related health care costs from US$5.8 billion in 2010 to US$10.1 billion in 2050.
