One Fifth Of World’s Population Will Be Obese By 2025

‘More people are obese than underweight.’

People around the world are putting on weight at such a fast rate that within 10 years one fifth of the world’s population will be obese, experts have warned.

New analysis of BMI trends found that from 1975 to 2014, the number of adults in the world classified as obese rose from 105 million to 641 million.

The average person had become 1.5kg (3.3 pounds) heavier with each passing decade.

If this trend continues, scientists predict 18% of men and 21% of women worldwide will be obese by the year 2025.

The clinical definition of obese is a Body Mass Index (BMI), a measurement that relates weight and height, of 30 kilograms per metre squared (kg/m2), the Press Association reports.


The review, published in The Lancet medical journal, also suggests more than 6% of men and 9% of women will be “severely obese” and putting their health at risk by 2025.

It found that since the 1970s the average BMI around the world increased from 21.7 to 24.2.

The higher figure is just below the BMI threshold of 25 where a person is considered to be “overweight”.

In 2014 China had the largest number of obese people in the world with 43.2 million men and 46.4 million women being classed as obese. Chinese men accounted for 16.3% of global obesity and women 12.4%.

The US has the second highest amount of obese people, with 41.7 million men and 46.1 million women being classed as obese. They accounted for 15.7% and 12.3% of the world’s obese individuals respectively.

UK men took eighth place in the table with 6.8 million being classed as obese in 2014, while British obese women ranked 11th at 7.7 million.

Thats quite disturbing imo. What are the reasons? Lazier lifestyles? More calories in our food? Sugar and carbs?

Food being shyt, and cheaper than the wholesome variety, and sedentary lifestyles.

I believe it. Better believe my family when I have one will be birthed in a training facility. Gonna have little dikk Graysons and Barbara Gordons running around, paying for college through track scholarships


We dont sit down to eat at the table. You do a wall squat and enjoy that Salmon and asparagus or you go to bed hungryAnd do 30 burpees before bedtime,but only after your Flintstones multi-vitamin.

whatever. I feel like it's easy to be obese and/or overweight by BMI standards. And it's only 20 percent with simple, practical solutions. Worst comes to worst, surgery.

The world is good. .

[prince_peoples]

people consume far too many carbs.

way too much bread, corn, grains.

All that processed food and reliance on technology

 

[Biscayne]

I'm bout to eat and lift weights right now. And do some ab workouts.

 

[THOT CATALOG]

it always starts at the top. eg) nba championship teams are caused by great ownership hiring great management drafting/luring in great players.

people at the top want the population to be fat and I have no reason to believe otherwise. if they cared about the public health as much as they lead us to believe, they'd create subtle propaganda to fat shame.

all this body acceptance shyt is atrocious. unless you have a physical trait you can't control - disabilities, cancer, height, you should feel ashamed for not being in tip top shape.

then again, the more fat people you "create" who don't take responsibility for their actions, the easier it is to milk them as slaves for profit. someone gotta pay for the yacht.
