04 May 2022 --- More than half of the EU’s adult population is overweight or obese, according to a World Health Organization (WHO) study, prompting stronger calls for tougher regulations and better nutrition labeling. “Obesity knows no borders. In Europe and Central Asia, no single country will meet the WHO Global noncommunicable diseases (NCD) target of halting the rise of obesity (by 2025),” says Dr. Hans Henri, WHO regional director for Europe.
