Dr Mariachiara Di Cesare Senior Lecturer in Public Health
The long-term study – the result of a collaboration with scientists from Imperial College London and over 700 scientists from across the globe – found that more than one in ten men and one in seven women are obese worldwide. This is a serious challenge for health professionals, but Dr Di Cesare says it can be stopped.
“The good news is we can reverse obesity trends with concerted action,” she says.
“We need to push for better, easier and cheaper access to healthy food, reduce consumption of unhealthy food through taxation, encourage and incentivise physical activity and invest in health education from primary school age.”
If current trends continue, global obesity prevalence will reach 18% in men and exceed 21% in women by 2025.
