Soon six out of ten people will be too heavy

Date:

People become thicker and thicker worldwide. In 2050, around 60 percent of adults will be overweight or obesity. This goes back to a new study of the medical magazine “The Lancet”, which has investigated 204 countries and regions.

According to this, every third young person must be too heavy or obesity by 2050. On the other hand, it is said that about a quarter of the affected is more than 65 years old. “This will further aggravate the burden of the health systems that are already overburdened and devastating consequences for healthcare in low resources countries,” says it.

States of the Pacific, South America and the Central East are mainly affected. In 2050, 94 percent of more than 25 -year -olds should be too heavy or obese in the Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Syria. By 2050, people in Chile, Australia, Greece, in the US and New Zealand would have too much weight in the States with a high gross national product.

Austria not in the upper field
Austria is not in the upper field. Nevertheless, 57.8 percent of the residents and 67.8 percent of the residents should be overweight or obese in 25 years. This share has continuously increased since the 1990s.

“The unprecedented worldwide epidemic of obesity and obesity is a great tragedy and a monumental social failure,” said the most important author of the study, Emmanuela Gakidou of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) of the University of Washington (US). To prevent development, “urgent political reforms and measures” are necessary.
