Data from over 200 countries collected since 1980 has revealed steady increases in obesity in every region of the world, including in most low- and middle-income countries. The international medical journal The Lancet recently published a series of papers highlighting the latest data about what’s driving global obesity, and what we can do about it. In this post, we review key findings from the articles and look at several questions addressed by them: what is the size and nature of the problem, what is driving its global increase, what will the future obesity burden be under a business-as-usual scenario, and what action is needed to reverse the trend?
