03 Mar 2023 --- Ahead of World Obesity Day, the World Obesity Federation predicts that by 2035, 51% of the world’s population will be overweight or obese if current patterns are unchanged. In its recently published Atlas report for 2023, the federation forecasts that the economic cost will hit US$4.3 trillion by 2035, which amounts to 3% of the global GDP and is on par with the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
