Obesity Rate In India

Raising concerns over growing obesity and increase of consumption of highly processed foods laden with sugars and fat, the Economic Survey said 54 per cent of the total disease burden in India is due to unhealthy diets.

Obesity among children in India has spiked sharply with about 12.5 million of those between the ages of five and 19 overweight in 2022 compared to 0.4 million in 1990, according to a global analysis published in The Lancet journal.

According to the latest National Family Health Survey (NFHS), there has been a rise in obesity among children under five years of age. Obesity rates among children jumped substantially in the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Health 2019: According to the recent stats stated by Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, around 5-8.8% of school children are obese in India. And if the rates increase at a pace like this, 27 million Indian children will be obese by 2030.

On World Obesity Day, the aim is to make more people aware about the issue of obesity and encourage people to share their experiences. This will help people get rid of obesity and thereby living a healthy life.

Obese people who avoid undertaking a weight-loss surgery are at a greater risk of dying than those who take it, a new study suggests.

A study published on Friday by British medical journal The Lancet has revealed that in 2025 a fifth of the world population will be obese if the rate of overweight people continues to increase at the current rate.

The increasing use of plus-sized models in advertising campaigns may be contributing to growing rates of obesity, a new study suggests.
