A World Obesity Foundation suggests 51% of the global population will be overweight by 2035. Young men between ages 5-19 are expected to double their obesity rates, from 10% to 20%, whereas young women are expected to more than double obesity rates, from 8% to 18%.
From Just the News:
The group's annual atlas outlined its projections showing that roughly 4 billion people will reach overweight status in just 12 years. Moreover, nearly a quarter, 24%, of the world's population will be obese by that same time. By contrast, 38% of the world was overweight in 2020 while just 14% were obese that year.
