Facts about overweight and obesity
.
Some recent WHO global estimates follow.
.
In 2014, more than 1.9 billion adults, 18 years and older, were
overweight. Of these over 600 million were obese.
.
Overall, about 13% of the worlds adult population (11% of men and 15%
of women) were obese in 2014.
.
In 2014, 39% of adults aged 18 years and over (38% of men and 40% of
women) were overweight.
.
The worldwide prevalence of obesity more than doubled between 1980 and
2014.
.
In 2013, 42 million children under the age of 5 were overweight or obese.
Once considered a high-income country problem, overweight and obesity are
now on the rise in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in urban
settings. In developing countries with emerging economies (classified by
the World Bank as lower- and middle-income countries) the rate of increase
of childhood overweight and obesity has been more than 30% higher than
that of developed countries.
.
Overweight and obesity are linked to more deaths worldwide than
underweight. Most of the world's population live in countries where
overweight and obesity kill more people than underweight (this includes
all high-income and most middle-income countries).

WHO response
"Adopted by the World Health Assembly in 2004, the WHO Global Strategy
on Diet, Physical Activity and Health describes the actions needed to
support healthy diets and regular physical activity. The Strategy calls
upon all stakeholders to take action at global, regional and local levels
to improve diets and physical activity patterns at the population level.
The Political Declaration of the High Level Meeting of the United Nations
General Assembly on the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable
Diseases of September 2011, recognizes the critical importance of
reducing unhealthy diet and physical inactivity. The political
declaration commits to advance the implementation of the WHO Global
Strategy on Diet, Physical Activity and Health, including, where
appropriate, through the introduction of policies and actions aimed at
promoting healthy diets and increasing physical activity in the entire
population."
