Description
OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY signal abnormal or excessive fat accumulation to an extent which threatens a risk to health. Obesity, in particular, has reached epidemic proportions to the extent that the level of obesity is projected to increase to over one billion persons by 2030. The annual death rate resulting from obesity related issues was already projected at 4 million seven years ago. Across the globe, more people are obese than underweight; our expanding waist lines have become a global crisis. The problem is considered so serious that Member States at the 2022 World Health Assembly adopted the WHO Acceleration Plan aimed at stopping the rising rate in global obesity.
In this regard each and every one of us must challenge ourselves to minimize or reverse the condition.
