2.1 Billion People are Overweight or Obese throughout the World Despite efforts to combat the obesity epidemic, the latest numbers revealed that more people are becoming overweight or obese throughout the world. The new analysis found that within the past three decades, the global number of overweight and obese people jumped from 857 million to 2.1 billion. The report added that the United States has the highest proportion of overweight and obese individuals. "Obesity is an issue affecting people of all ages and incomes, everywhere," Dr. Christopher Murray said reported by Philly. "In the last three decades, not one country has achieved success in reducing obesity rates, and we expect obesity to rise steadily as incomes rise in low- and middle-income countries in particular, unless urgent steps are taken to address this public health crisis."

The data included children and adults living in 188 countries. The team reported that during this time frame, the rate of overweight and obese adult men throughout the world increased from 29 percent to 37 percent. For women, the rate increased from 30 percent to 38 percent. The team noted that the rates for men were higher in developed nations whereas the rates for women were generally higher in developing nations. The researchers added out of the 671 million obese people tallied in the study, more than half of them lived in 10 countries, which were the U.S., China, India, Russia, brazil, Mexico, Egypt, Germany, Pakistan and Indonesia. The U.S. had the highest rate of overweight and obese indivuals at 13 percent. "Worldwide, the proportion of adults with a body-mass index (BMI) of 25 or greater increased between 1980 and 2013 from 28.8 percent to 36.9 percent in men, and from 29.8 percent to 38 percent in women," the researchers wrote according to NBC News. The researchers also analyzed the rates of overweight and obese children during the same time frame. They found that these rates increased by almost 50 percent. By 2013, 22 percent of girls and almost 24 percent of boys living in developed countries were either overweight or obese. The rates in developing countries were around 13 percent for both sexes. "The rise in obesity among children is especially troubling in so many low- and middle-income countries," study author Marie Ng, an assistant professor of global health at IHME, said. "We know that there are severe downstream health effects from childhood obesity, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and many cancers. We need to be thinking now about how to turn this trend around." The study, "Global, regional, and national prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adults during 1980-2013: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013," was published in The Lancet.

Desetljećima stari vic da polovica svjetskog stanovništva gladuje, a druga polovica drži dijetu, nije više aktualan jer trećina stanovništva ima višak kilograma ili je pretila kako u bogatim tako i u zemljama u razvoju, pokazuje studija provedena u 188 država. Studija Instituta IHME koji djeluje pri Sveučilištu iz Washingtona, a objavljena je u britanskom znanstvenom časopisu The Lancet pratila je prekomjernu težinu na svjetskoj, regionalnoj razini i pojedinačno po zemljama u djece i odraslog stanovništva od 1980. do 2013. U 33 godine istraživanja, stopa pretilosti ili prekomjerne težine narasla je za 28 posto u odraslih osoba i 47 posto u djece. U tom razdoblju broj osoba s prekomjernom težinom ili pretilih narastao je s 857 milijuna 1980., na 2,1 milijarde 2013. To je više od ukupne svjetske populacije 1927. kada je bilo 2 miljarde ljudi, a danas ih ima 7 milijarda. Istraživači ističu da je pretilost, nekad bolest bogatih nacija, danas snažno zahvatila sve kronološke dobi, sve regije i ljude svih platežnih razreda, a nijedna zemlja ne uspijeva smanjiti stopu pretilosti. "Dvije trećine pretilih danas žive u zemljama u razvoju", ističe Marie Ng, profesorica svjetskog zdravlja koja je sudjelovala u istraživanju. Zemlje Bliskog istoka i Sjeverne Afrike, Srednje Amerike i Pacifika te Kariba dosegnule su zapanjujuće visoku stopu pretilosti, pokazuje studija. Najviša stopa pretilosti među ženama je u Egiptu, Saudijskoj Arabiji, Omanu, Hondurasu i Bahreinu, a među muškarcima u Novom Zelandu, Bahreinu, Kuvajtu, Saudijskoj Arabiji i Sjedinjenim Državama. U SAD-u živi 13 posto svih pretilih ljudi svijeta, no oni čine manje od 5 posto američkog stanovništva. Pretilost je složen problem potaknut dostupnošću jeftine, masne, slatke, slane i visokokalorične nezdrave hrane, popularno zvane "junk food", ali i porasta sjedilačkog načina života. Osim loše hrane i nekretanja na višak težine utječu i neki lijekovi, stres, manjak sna i genetske predispozicije. Pretilost je najveći rizični čimbenik za bolesti srca i krvnih žila, srčanog ili moždanog udara, dijabetesa, artritisa i nekih oblika raka. Kronične tegobe izazvane prekomjernom težinom ubiju svake godine oko 3,4 milijuna odraslih ljudi, utvrdila je Svjetska zdravstvena organizacija (WHO). Problem je najakutniji na Bliskom istoku i u Sjevernoj Africi gdje je pretilo ili prekomjerno teško 58 posto odraslih muškaraca te 65 posto odraslih žena. Najveći porast uočen je u Egiptu, Saudijskoj Arabiji, Omanu i Kuvajtu. Znanstvenici upozoravaju da pretilost nije "kozmetičko", estetsko pitanje, već pitanje zdravlja i zato ga valja ozbiljno shvatiti. Pretilost se danas pojavljuje u vrlo ranoj dobi i raste do 50 posto djece i mladih diljem svijeta. Muškarci su deblji u razvijenim zemljama, a žene u zemljama u razvoju. Zračak nade pojavio se u bogatim zemljama gdje stopa pretilosti u odraslih usporava zadnjih osam godina. Više od polovice pretilih ljudi živi u deset zemalja: Sjedinjene Dražve, Kina, Indija, Rusija, Brazil, Meksiko, Egipat, Njemačka, Pakistan te Indonezija. Foto: Ilustracija Autor: HINA
